1"Bhikkhus, there are these two qualities. What two? Skillfulness in entering a meditative attainment and skillfulness in emerging from a meditative attainment. These are the two qualities."[n.331] Mp: "Skillfulness in (entering) a meditative attainment (samāpattikusalatā) is facility in entering the attainment after one has understood suitability in food and climate. Skillfulness in emerging from a meditative attainment (samāpattivuṭṭhānakusalatā) is skill in emerging at the predetermined time."
