samADi · masculine · samādhi 1
samādhi , concentration, trance , in Skt. and Pali recorded only as m. ; acc. to Ratnach. only m. in AMg. , but also f. in Pkt. acc. to Sheth ; here f. and nt. occasionally: f. , mahāvyūhāya ( loc. ) sthitaḥ samādhiye ( loc. ) LV 60.4 ( vs ; in prec. prose mahāvyūhasya samādher 59.20—21 ); etatpraveśo ( v.l. °śā, so read?) yat samādhiḥ paramā jāyata iti Laṅk 21.4 (prose); -vipañcitāyāḥ (all mss. , Régamey em. °citāt, which indeed occurs 19.5, 14 ) samādher ( gen. ) Samādh 19.1 (prose); samādhiya (certainly gen. ) lābhī Samādh 19.27 ( vs ); also in ceto-samādhi , q.v. , Mv iii.409.12 ; nt. , tāni samādhīni Kv 51.7—8 (prose; line 2 above ete samādhayaḥ). As 8th step in the 8-fold [Page569-a] Path, samyak-sa°, see mārga . Sa° is 5-fold, ārya-pañcāṅgika-samādhi-saṃpannā(ḥ) Mv ii.292.9 , of bodhisattvas; acc. to a Pali list ( Childers s.v. ) the 5 aṅga are pīti-pharaṇatā, sukha-phar°, ceto-phar°, āloka-phar°, and paccavekkhanānimittaṃ; see also s.v. pañcāṅgika (2). Four kinds of sa° Mvy 967—970 : chanda-, citta-, vīrya-, mīmāṃsā-sa° (= Pali cha°, ci°, viriya-, vīmaṃsā-); another list of four kinds Dharmas 101 , somewhat corrupt, cf. the adhimukticaryābhūmi-nāmāni Mvy 896—901 , and Sūtrāl. xiv.24—26 with comm. ; acc. to Dharmas āloka- ( Mvy 898 °ka-labdha, read °lābha, Lévi on Sūtrāl. ), vṛtāloka- (read vṛddhā°, cf. Mvy 899 āloka-vṛddhiḥ), ekādaśa-(read ekadeśa-)-pratiṣṭha- ( cf. Mvy 900 tattvārthaikadeśānupraveśaḥ), and ānantarya-sa° (= Mvy 901 , misprinted an°). There are a number of lists, some of them very long, of particular samādhis; over 100 in Mvy 505—623 , from ‘Prajñāpāramitā’, e.g. ŚsP 1412.8 ff. (these are all included in this Dict. ); a very different list AsP 490.8—492.6 ; nearly 70 (practised by Avalokiteśvara) Kv 51.9 ff. ; list of 17, Kv 77.8 ff. ; of 37, Kv 92.17 ff. ; only four, Śūraṃgama (which occurs frequently), Gagaṇagañja, Vimalaprabha , and Siṃhavikrīḍita , Dharmas 136 ; 100 Bodhisattva-sa° Gv 36.22 ff. (this term occurs elsewhere in Gv and other works, e.g. Dbh 2.27 , of named samādhis practised by Bodhisattvas). Few of the names in these and other lists recur, and most of them are not separately listed in this Dict. ; they seem mostly to be ad hoc inventions of the respective authors. For samādhi in relation to samāpatti see the latter.
meditation; one-pointedness of the mind
Samādhi [from saṃ + ā + dhā] 1. concentration; a concentrated, self-collected, intent state of mind and meditation, which, concomitant with right living, is a necessary condition to the {618} attainment of higher wisdom and emancipation. In the Subha-suttanta of the Dīgha (D I 209 f. ) samādhi-khandha ("section on concentration") is the title otherwise given to the citta-sampadā, which, in the ascending order of merit accruing from the life of a samaṇa (see Sāmaññaphala-suttanta, and cf. D.B. I 57 f. ) stands between the sīla-sampadā and the paññā-sampadā. In the Ambaṭṭha-sutta the corresponding terms are sīla, caraṇa, vijjā (D. I 100). Thus samādhi would comprise (a) the guarding of the senses (indriyesu gutta-dvāratā), (b) self-possession (sati-sampajañña), (c) contentment (santuṭṭhi), (d) emancipation from the 5 hindrances (nīvaraṇāni), (e) the 4 jhānas. In the same way we find samādhi grouped as one of the sampadās at A III 12 (sīla°, samādhi°, paññā°, vimutti°), and as samādhi-khandha (with sīla° and paññā°) at D III 229 (+ vimutti°); A I 125; II 20; III 15; V 326; Nidd I 21; Nidd II page 277 ( sub voce sīla). It is defined as cittassa ekaggatā M I 301; Dhs 15; As 118; cf. Cpd. 89 note 4; identified with avikkhepa Dhs 57, and with samatha Dhs 54. — sammā° is one of the constituents of the eightfold ariya-magga, e.g. D III 277; Vibh-a 120 f. — See further D II 123 (ariya); Vin I 97, 104; S I 28; Nidd I 365; Miln 337; Vism 84 f. (with definition), 289 (+ vipassanā), 380 (°vipphārā iddhi); Vibh-a 91; Dhp-a I 427; and on term in general Heiler, Buddhistische Versenkung 104 f. 2. Description and characterization of samādhi: Its four nimittas or signs are the four satipaṭṭhānas M I 301; six conditions and six hindrances A III 427; other hindrances M III 158. The second jhāna is born from samādhi D II 186; it is a condition for attaining kusalā dhammā A I 115; Miln 38; conducive to insight A III 19, 24 f., 200; S IV 80; to seeing heavenly sights etc. D I 173; to removing mountains etc. A III 311; removes the delusions of self A I 132 f.; leads to Arahantship A II 45; the ānantarika s. Snp 226; ceto-samādhi (rapture of mind) D I 13; A II 54; III 51; S IV 297; citta° the same Nett 16. dhammasamādhi almost identical with samatha S IV 350 f. — Two grades of samādhi distinguished, viz. upacāra-s. (preparatory concentration) and appanā-s. (attainment concentration) Sv I 217; Vism 126; Cpd. 54, 56 f.; only the latter results in jhāna; to these a 3rd (preliminary) grade is added as khaṇika° (momentary) at Vism 144. — Three kinds of s. are distinguished, suññata or empty, appaṇihita or aimless, and animitta or signless A I 299; S IV 360; cf IV 296; Vin III 93; Miln 337; cf. 333 f.; As 179 f., 222 f., 290 f.; see Yogāvacara's Manual xxvii; samādhi (tayo samādhī) is savitakka savicāra, avitakka vicāramatta or avitakka avicāra D III 219; Kv 570; cf. 413; Miln 337; As 179 f.; it is fourfold chanda-, viriya-, citta-, and vīmaṃsā-samādhi D II 213; S V 268. — Another fourfold division is that into hāna-bhāgiya, ṭhiti°, visesa°, nibbedha° D III 277 (as "dhammā duppaṭivijjhā"). -indriya the faculty of concentration A II 149; Dhs 15; -khandha the section on s. see above 1; -ja produced by concentration D I 74; III 13; Vism 158; -parikkhāra requisite to the attainment of samādhi: either 4 (the sammappadhānas) M I 301; or 7: D II 216; III 252; A IV 40; -bala the power of concentration A I 94; II 252; D III 213, 253; Dhs 28; -bhāvanā cultivation, attainment of samādhi M I 301; A II 44 f. (four different kinds mentioned); III 25 f.; D III 222; Vism 371; -saṃvattanika conducive to concentration A II 57; S IV 272 f.; D III 245; Dhs 1344; -sambojjhaṅga the s. constituent of enlightment D III 106, 226, 252; Vism 134 = Vibh-a 283 (with the eleven means of cultivating it).
