Mental dispositions (`jhānā`)

14S5/9.1.1—12 Jhānādisutta

My Translation

1625. [The Bhagavā] was staying at Sāvatthī.

There, the Bhagavā said this:

Bhikkhave, there are these four jhānā. Which four?

• Here, bhikkhave, a bhikkhu, quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskillful qualities, enters and remains in the first jhāna, which is savitakkaṃ (accompanied by reflection), savicāraṃ (with consideration), vivekajaṃ (born from seclusion), pītisukhaṃ (filled with joy and pleasure).
• Vitakkavicārānaṃ (reflecting and considering), vūpasamā (calmed down), With the subsiding of reflection and consideration, ajjhattaṃ sampasādanaṃ (personally confident), cetaso (having a purposeful mind), he enters and remains in the second jhāna, ekodibhāvaṃ (single minded), avitakkaṃ(without reflection), avicāraṃ (without consideration), samādhijaṃ (born from composure), filled with joy and pleasure.
• Pītiyā ca virāgā (Dispassionate from joy etc.), he remains upekkhako (equanimous), sato (aware), sampajāno (thoughtful) and clearly comprehending; and he personally experiences comfort with the body, of which the noble ones declare —‘Equanimous, satimā (attentive), sukhavihārī (at ease)’ — he enters and remains in the third jhāna.
• With the letting go of previous pleasure or pain, subsiding of satisfaction and dissatisfaction, adukkhamasukhaṃ upekkhāsatipārisuddhiṃ (possessing purification of awareness by equanimity that is neither pleasant nor unpleasant) he enters and remains in the fourth jhāna.

These, bhikkhave, are the four jhānā.
