Immersion (1st)
अथ खो सम्बहुला भिक्खू येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमिंसु; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदिंसु। एकमन्तं निसिन्ना खो ते भिक्खू भगवन्तं एतदवोचुं:
Atha kho sambahulā bhikkhū yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdiṁsu. Ekamantaṁ nisinnā kho te bhikkhū bhagavantaṁ etadavocuṁ:
And then several bhikkhus went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
“सिया नु खो, भन्ते, भिक्खुनो तथारूपो समाधिपटिलाभो यथा नेव पथवियं पथविसञ्ञी अस्स, न आपस्मिं आपोसञ्ञी अस्स, न तेजस्मिं तेजोसञ्ञी अस्स, न वायस्मिं वायोसञ्ञी अस्स, न आकासानञ्चायतने आकासानञ्चायतनसञ्ञी अस्स, न विञ्ञाणञ्चायतने विञ्ञाणञ्चायतनसञ्ञी अस्स, न आकिञ्चञ्ञायतने आकिञ्चञ्ञायतनसञ्ञी अस्स, न नेवसञ्ञानासञ्ञायतने नेवसञ्ञानासञ्ञायतनसञ्ञी अस्स, न इधलोके इधलोकसञ्ञी अस्स, न परलोके परलोकसञ्ञी अस्स, यम्पिदं दिट्ठं सुतं मुतं विञ्ञातं पत्तं परियेसितं अनुविचरितं मनसा तत्रापि न सञ्ञी अस्स; सञ्ञी च पन अस्सा”ति?
“Siyā nu kho, bhante, bhikkhuno tathārūpo samādhipaṭilābho yathā neva pathaviyaṁ pathavisaññī assa, na āpasmiṁ āposaññī assa, na tejasmiṁ tejosaññī assa, na vāyasmiṁ vāyosaññī assa, na ākāsānañcāyatane ākāsānañcāyatanasaññī assa, na viññāṇañcāyatane viññāṇañcāyatanasaññī assa, na ākiñcaññāyatane ākiñcaññāyatanasaññī assa, na nevasaññānāsaññāyatane nevasaññānāsaññāyatanasaññī assa, na idhaloke idhalokasaññī assa, na paraloke paralokasaññī assa, yampidaṁ diṭṭhaṁ sutaṁ mutaṁ viññātaṁ pattaṁ pariyesitaṁ anuvicaritaṁ manasā tatrāpi na saññī assa; saññī ca pana assā”ti?
“Could it be, sir, that a bhikkhu might gain a state of immersion like this? They wouldn’t perceive earth in earth, water in water, fire in fire, or air in air. And they wouldn’t perceive the dimension of infinite space in the dimension of infinite space, the dimension of infinite consciousness in the dimension of infinite consciousness, the dimension of nothingness in the dimension of nothingness, or the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception in the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception. They wouldn’t perceive this world in this world, or the other world in the other world. And they wouldn’t perceive what is seen, heard, thought, known, attained, sought, or explored by the mind. And yet they would still perceive.”
“सिया, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो तथारूपो समाधिपटिलाभो यथा नेव पथवियं पथविसञ्ञी अस्स …पे… यम्पिदं दिट्ठं सुतं मुतं विञ्ञातं पत्तं परियेसितं अनुविचरितं मनसा तत्रापि न सञ्ञी अस्स; सञ्ञी च पन अस्सा”ति।
“Siyā, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno tathārūpo samādhipaṭilābho yathā neva pathaviyaṁ pathavisaññī assa …pe… yampidaṁ diṭṭhaṁ sutaṁ mutaṁ viññātaṁ pattaṁ pariyesitaṁ anuvicaritaṁ manasā tatrāpi na saññī assa; saññī ca pana assā”ti.
“It could be, bhikkhus.”
“यथा कथं पन, भन्ते, सिया भिक्खुनो तथारूपो समाधिपटिलाभो यथा नेव पथवियं पथविसञ्ञी अस्स …पे… यम्पिदं दिट्ठं सुतं मुतं विञ्ञातं पत्तं परियेसितं अनुविचरितं मनसा तत्रापि न सञ्ञी अस्स; सञ्ञी च पन अस्सा”ति?
“Yathā kathaṁ pana, bhante, siyā bhikkhuno tathārūpo samādhipaṭilābho yathā neva pathaviyaṁ pathavisaññī assa …pe… yampidaṁ diṭṭhaṁ sutaṁ mutaṁ viññātaṁ pattaṁ pariyesitaṁ anuvicaritaṁ manasā tatrāpi na saññī assa; saññī ca pana assā”ti?
“But how could this be?”
“इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु एवंसञ्ञी होति: ‘एतं सन्तं एतं पणीतं, यदिदं सब्बसङ्खारसमथो सब्बूपधिपटिनिस्सग्गो तण्हाक्खयो विरागो निरोधो निब्बानन्ऽति। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, सिया भिक्खुनो तथारूपो समाधिपटिलाभो यथा नेव पथवियं पथविसञ्ञी अस्स, न आपस्मिं आपोसञ्ञी अस्स, न तेजस्मिं तेजोसञ्ञी अस्स, न वायस्मिं वायोसञ्ञी अस्स, न आकासानञ्चायतने आकासानञ्चायतनसञ्ञी अस्स, न विञ्ञाणञ्चायतने विञ्ञाणञ्चायतनसञ्ञी अस्स, न आकिञ्चञ्ञायतने आकिञ्चञ्ञायतनसञ्ञी अस्स, न नेवसञ्ञानासञ्ञायतने नेवसञ्ञानासञ्ञायतनसञ्ञी अस्स, न इधलोके इधलोकसञ्ञी अस्स, न परलोके परलोकसञ्ञी अस्स, यम्पिदं दिट्ठं सुतं मुतं विञ्ञातं पत्तं परियेसितं अनुविचरितं मनसा तत्रापि न सञ्ञी अस्स; सञ्ञी च पन अस्सा”ति।
“Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu evaṁsaññī hoti: ‘etaṁ santaṁ etaṁ paṇītaṁ, yadidaṁ sabbasaṅkhārasamatho sabbūpadhipaṭinissaggo taṇhākkhayo virāgo nirodho nibbānan’ti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, siyā bhikkhuno tathārūpo samādhipaṭilābho yathā neva pathaviyaṁ pathavisaññī assa, na āpasmiṁ āposaññī assa, na tejasmiṁ tejosaññī assa, na vāyasmiṁ vāyosaññī assa, na ākāsānañcāyatane ākāsānañcāyatanasaññī assa, na viññāṇañcāyatane viññāṇañcāyatanasaññī assa, na ākiñcaññāyatane ākiñcaññāyatanasaññī assa, na nevasaññānāsaññāyatane nevasaññānāsaññāyatanasaññī assa, na idhaloke idhalokasaññī assa, na paraloke paralokasaññī assa, yampidaṁ diṭṭhaṁ sutaṁ mutaṁ viññātaṁ pattaṁ pariyesitaṁ anuvicaritaṁ manasā tatrāpi na saññī assa; saññī ca pana assā”ti.
“It’s when a bhikkhu perceives: ‘This is peaceful; this is sublime—that is, the stilling of all activities, the letting go of all attachments, the ending of craving, fading away, cessation, Nibbana.’ That’s how a bhikkhu might gain a state of immersion like this. They wouldn’t perceive earth in earth, water in water, fire in fire, or air in air. And they wouldn’t perceive the dimension of infinite space in the dimension of infinite space, the dimension of infinite consciousness in the dimension of infinite consciousness, the dimension of nothingness in the dimension of nothingness, or the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception in the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception. They wouldn’t perceive this world in this world, or the other world in the other world. And they wouldn’t perceive what is seen, heard, thought, known, attained, sought, or explored by the mind. And yet they would still perceive.”
