sn42.13:31.2 They reflect thus:
sn42.13:31.9 ‘If what this good teacher says is true, it’s a sure bet for me to not hurt any creature firm or frail.
sn42.13:31.10 I hold a winning hand on both counts, since I’m restrained in body, speech, and mind, and when my body breaks up, after death, I’ll be reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.’
sn42.13:31.11 Joy springs up in them.
sn42.13:31.12 Being joyful, rapture springs up.
sn42.13:31.13 When the mind is full of rapture, the body becomes tranquil.
sn42.13:31.14 When the body is tranquil, they feel bliss.
sn42.13:31.15 And when blissful, the mind becomes immersed in samādhi.
sn42.13:31.16 This is that immersion based on understanding of principle.
sn42.13:31.17 If you gain such mental immersion, you can give up that state of uncertainty.”
