AN6_74: Jhāna Sutta

Jhāna Sutta - translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

“Monks, without abandoning six things, one is incapable of entering & remaining in the first jhāna. Which six? Thoughts of sensuality, thoughts of ill will, thoughts of harmfulness; perceptions of sensuality, perceptions of ill will, perceptions of harmfulness. Without abandoning these six things, one is incapable of entering & remaining in the first jhāna.”
