III. The Wrong Way — SN45.28: Immersion

1At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, I will teach you noble right immersion with its vital conditions and its prerequisites. Listen …

And what is noble right immersion with its vital conditions and its prerequisites? There are right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, and right mindfulness.

Unification of mind with these seven factors as prerequisites is called noble right immersion ‘with its vital conditions’ and ‘with its prerequisites’.”

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

"Ariyaṁ vo, bhikkhave, sammāsamādhiṁ desessāmi saupanisaṁ saparikkhāraṁ. Taṁ suṇātha.

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, ariyo sammāsamādhi saupaniso saparikkhāro? Seyyathidaṁ – sammādiṭṭhi … pe … sammāsati.

Yā kho, bhikkhave, imehi sattahaṅgehi cittassa ekaggatā saparikkhāratā – ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ariyo sammāsamādhi saupaniso itipi saparikkhāro itipī"ti.

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
