A.10_006 | Samaadhi Sutta | Monks should not take to heart any of the following ten assumptions: 1. that the earth element is the earth element; 2. that the water element is the water element; 3. that the fire element is the fire element; 4. that the wind element is the wind element; 5. that the sphere of the infinity of space (aakaasaana~ncaayatana) is the sphere of the infinity of space; 6. that the sphere of the infinity of consciousness (vi~n~naa.na~ncaayatana) is the sphere of the infinity of consciousness; 7. that the sphere of nothingness (aaki~nca~n~naayatana) is the sphere of nothingness; 8. that the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception (nevasa~n~naanaasa~n~naayatana) is the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception; 9. that this world is this world, or; 10. that the next world is the next world. Instead monks should cultivate peace and refinement of mind until they can shed the mind's defilements, overcome craving and attain nirvana. | 38/012 | Dasaka Nipaata, Pa.thama Pa.n.naasaka | A"nguttara | A.i. |
