Venerable \u0100nanda saw Venerable S\u0101riputta and said to him: \u201cReverend S\u0101riputta, your faculties are so very clear, and your complexion is pure and bright. What meditation were you practicing today?\u201d \u201cReverend, with the giving up of pleasure and pain, and the disappearance of former happiness and sadness, I entered and remained in the fourth absorption, without pleasure or pain, with pure equanimity and mindfulness. But it didn\u2019t occur to me: \u2018I am entering the fourth absorption\u2019 or \u2018I have entered the fourth absorption\u2019 or \u2018I am emerging from the fourth absorption\u2019.\u201d \u201cThat must be because Venerable S\u0101riputta has long ago totally eradicated I-making, mine-making, and the underlying tendency to conceit. That\u2019s why it didn\u2019t occur to you: \u2018I am entering the fourth absorption\u2019 or \u2018I have entered the fourth absorption\u2019 or \u2018I am emerging from the fourth absorption\u2019.\u201d","title":"Equanimity","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":140}
