The Discourse on Comfortable Abiding
94.
"Monks, there are these five comfortable abidings.
Which five?
Here, monks, a monk, quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unwholesome mental states, enters upon and dwells in the first meditative absorption, which is accompanied by applied thought and sustained thought, with rapture and bliss born of seclusion;
with the subsiding of applied and sustained thought, etc.
the second meditative absorption...
the third meditative absorption...
enters upon and dwells in the fourth meditative absorption;
through the elimination of the mental corruptions, realises by his own direct knowledge, in this very life, the liberation of mind and the liberation by wisdom that are free from mental corruptions and, having entered upon them, dwells in them.
These, monks, are the five comfortable abidings."
