an6.10:2.1 “Mahānāma, when a noble disciple has reached the fruit and understood the instructions they frequently practice this kind of meditation.
an6.10:2.2 Firstly, a noble disciple recollects the Realized One:
an6.10:2.3 ‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those fit for training, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’
an6.10:2.4 When a noble disciple recollects the Realized One their mind is not full of greed, hate, and delusion.
an6.10:2.5 At that time their mind is quite unswerving, based on the Realized One.
an6.10:2.6 A noble disciple whose mind is unswerving finds inspiration in the meaning and the teaching, and finds joy connected with the teaching.
an6.10:2.7 When they’re joyful, rapture springs up. When the mind is full of rapture, the body becomes tranquil. When the body is tranquil, they feel bliss. And when they’re blissful, the mind becomes immersed in samādhi.
an6.10:2.8 This is called
an6.10:2.9 a noble disciple who lives in balance among people who are unbalanced, and lives untroubled among people who are troubled. They’ve entered the stream of the teaching and develop the recollection of the Buddha.
