Third Noble Truth: Reality of the Cessation of Suffering — Which Is to Be Actualized
Jhana
Jhana
is a meditative state of profound stillness and concentration in which
the mind becomes fully immersed and absorbed in the chosen object of
attention. It is the cornerstone in the development of Right
Concentration.
The definition (with similes)
[First jhana]
“There
is the case where a monk — quite withdrawn from sensuality, withdrawn
from unskillful qualities — enters and remains in the first jhana:
rapture and pleasure born from withdrawal, accompanied by directed
thought and evaluation. He permeates and pervades, suffuses and fills
this very body with the rapture and pleasure born from withdrawal. There
is nothing of his entire body unpervaded by rapture and pleasure born
from withdrawal.
“Just as if a skilled bathman or bathman’s
apprentice would pour bath powder into a brass basin and knead it
together, sprinkling it again and again with water, so that his ball of
bath powder — saturated, moisture-laden, permeated within and without —
would nevertheless not drip; even so, the monk permeates, suffuses and
fills this very body with the rapture and pleasure born of withdrawal.
There is nothing of his entire body unpervaded by rapture and pleasure
born from withdrawal…
[Second jhana]
“Furthermore, with
the stilling of directed thoughts and evaluations, he enters and remains
in the second jhana: rapture and pleasure born of composure,
unification of awareness free from directed thought and evaluation —
internal assurance. He permeates and pervades, suffuses and fills this
very body with the rapture and pleasure born of composure. There is
nothing of his entire body unpervaded by rapture and pleasure born of
composure.
“Just like a lake with spring-water welling up from
within, having no inflow from east, west, north, or south, and with the
skies periodically supplying abundant showers, so that the cool fount of
water welling up from within the lake would permeate and pervade,
suffuse and fill it with cool waters, there being no part of the lake
unpervaded by the cool waters; even so, the monk permeates and pervades,
suffuses and fills this very body with the rapture and pleasure born of
composure. There is nothing of his entire body unpervaded by rapture
and pleasure born of composure…
[Third jhana]
“And
furthermore, with the fading of rapture, he remains equanimous, mindful,
and alert, and senses pleasure with the body. He enters and remains in
the third jhana, of which the Noble Ones declare, ‘Equanimous and
mindful, he has a pleasant abiding.’ He permeates and pervades, suffuses
and fills this very body with the pleasure divested of rapture, so that
there is nothing of his entire body unpervaded with pleasure divested
of rapture.
“Just as in a blue-, white-, or red-lotus pond, there
may be some of the blue, white, or red lotuses which, born and growing
in the water, stay immersed in the water and flourish without standing
up out of the water, so that they are permeated and pervaded, suffused
and filled with cool water from their roots to their tips, and nothing
of those blue, white, or red lotuses would be unpervaded with cool
water; even so, the monk permeates and pervades, suffuses and fills this
very body with the pleasure divested of rapture. There is nothing of
his entire body unpervaded with pleasure divested of rapture…
[Fourth jhana]
“And
furthermore, with the abandoning of pleasure and stress — as with the
earlier disappearance of elation and distress — he enters and remains in
the fourth jhana: purity of equanimity and mindfulness,
neither-pleasure-nor-pain. He sits, permeating the body with a pure,
bright awareness, so that there is nothing of his entire body unpervaded
by pure, bright awareness.
“Just as if a man were sitting
wrapped from head to foot with a white cloth so that there would be no
part of his body to which the white cloth did not extend; even so, the
monk sits, permeating his body with a pure, bright awareness. There is
nothing of his entire body unpervaded by pure, bright awareness.”
(Anguttara Nikaya, 5.28)
is the case, brahman, where he practices for the welfare and happiness
of many people and has established many people in the noble method, that
is, the rightness of what is admirable, the rightness of what is
skillful.
any thought he doesn’t want to think. He wills any resolve he wants to
will, and doesn’t will any resolve he doesn’t want to will. He has
attained mastery of the mind with regard to the pathways of thought.
attains — whenever he wants, without strain, without difficulty — the
four jhanas that are heightened mental states, pleasant abidings in the
here-and-now.
in the fermentation-free awareness-release and discernment-release,
having directly known and realized them for himself right in the
here-and-now.
“…I declare a person endowed with these four qualities to be one of great discernment, a great man.”
There’s no jhana
for one with no discernment,
no discernment
for one with no jhana.
But one with both jhana
and discernment:
he’s on the verge
of Unbinding.
(Dhammapada, 372)

Whoever gives oneself to distractions
and does not give oneself to meditation,
forgetting true purpose and grasping at pleasure,
will eventually envy the one who practices meditation.
Let no one cling to what is pleasant or unpleasant.
Not to see what is pleasant is painful,
as it is to see what is unpleasant.
Therefore do not become attached to anything;
loss of what is loved is painful.
Those who have neither likes nor dislikes have no chains.
From pleasure comes grief; from pleasure comes fear.
Whoever is free from pleasure knows neither grief nor fear.
From attachment comes grief; from attachment comes fear.
Whoever is free from attachment knows neither grief nor fear.
From greed comes grief; from greed comes fear.
Whoever is free from greed knows neither grief nor fear.
From lust comes grief; from lust comes fear.
Whoever is free from lust knows neither grief nor fear.
From craving comes grief; from craving comes fear.
Whoever is free from craving knows neither grief nor fear.
Whoever has virtue and insight,
who is just, truthful, and does one’s own work,
the world will love.
The one in whom a desire for the ineffable has arisen,
whose mind is satisfied
and whose thoughts are free from desires
is called one who ascends the stream.
Family, friends, and well-wishers welcome a person
who has been away long and returns safely from afar.
Similarly, one’s good actions receive the good person
who has gone from this world to the other,
as family receive a friend who is returning.
