Mastering Transcendence ... !!!

[Guest guest]

Friends:

The First Two Sources of Mastering Transcendence (AbhibhaYatana):

Perceiving nothing else but a certain internal form (organ, bone, tooth, or

nail etc.)

to a limited degree (spontaneous, no choice of object), one sees them as if

external.

Whether beautiful or ugly one experiences this: 'I know & see this

transcendence'!

This is the first stage & source of mastering transcendence into absorption...

Perceiving only this single internal form (now) to an unlimited degree

(deliberately

induced, free choice of object) one sees them as if external (mental image in

front

of one sitting with closed eyes). Whether beautiful or ugly one experiences

this:

'I know & see this transcendence'. This is the second stage & source of

mastering

transcendence into absorption... This is what is meant by 'Controlling the

Senses'...

For the practical details of the Kasina Meditation, that leads to this

mastering of

transcendence see: The Path of Purification: Visuddhimagga chapters IV-V. by

the

great explainer Buddhaghosa, shown below handing over the manuscript ~ 430 AC.
