大悲愿
Mental factors in equilibriumWhen all mental factors reach equilibrium, one can easily enter into Jhana & fruition – in a wilfully blissful state. When one emerge from Jhana, the lingering effect of Jhana & fruition can go on for weeks & months. This effect will eventually wear off as one interact with the mundane world. However, 3 fruition remnants will be left behind – No-self, Compassion & Panna Wisdom.
1st-4th Rupa Jhana - is characterise by 1 pointedness concentration on a bright light nimittta (Form Jhana).
5th Arupa Jhana - is characterise by concentration on vast space, vast consciouness, vast light (Formless Jhana).
Fruition - is characterise by 3 concentric circles of Fruition whereby no stray thoughts arise from within and no stray thoughts penetrate the 3 attributes of No-Self, Illimitable Compassion & Panna Wisdom.
highly concentrated, meditative state
3 Phenomenon sets-in in a highly concentrated, meditative state :-1) You notice there is "no self" - no physical body, only consciousness - each consciousness is discrete - very distinct - that you can identify in discrete unit. You will then understand why Buddha says - our mind state is made up of 5 aggregates.(2) Your Wisdom set in - and become overwhelming. The knowledge become like many video clips that run, flash across your mind like a runaway train - almost non-stop. Any stimuli, any things you see or hear or smell or taste of your 5 aggregates - will trigger a whole overwhelming of knowledge. This is real Panna Wisdom. Not Intellectual Intelligence.(3) Your Compassion will develop - it can be so overbearing that you discover all human beings and other beings (animals, insects, environment) - are subject to so much sufferings - that you will discover this World, this Sea of Sufferings (like tsunami) is so overwhelming -- that you will develop overbearing Compassion - to want to save, to liberate all sentinent beings from these sufferings.
1-Pointedness Samadhi Concentration to Vastness in Space
=
1. Meditator will bask on the one pointedness bright light for a while and enjoying the 4 happy mental states of happiness, serenity, equanimity and silencing of the mind.
2. After a while the one pointedness bright light (the first concentric circle) expand outwards like an expanding balloon in the 10 directions – filling up the space around the meditator.
3. Again the expansion of the light – will continue to project and expand outward – farther and farther as it to fill up the space around us, the district, the country, the world, the earth and still continue into the space – the solar system, the galaxy, the whole universe.
4. The first concentric circle of yellow light will then stabilize – and stop expanding. This first concentric circle – characterize as “no-self” – Void – thus it can expand outwards with no barriers or obstacles.
5. As long as as the space or void is not fill with the yellow bright light, the first concentric circle of bright light will then expand again – due to the pulling of a “flickering: 2nd concentric circle of flickering bright circumference – characterize by Compassion. (Vows to liberate all sentinent beings of 10 directions).
6. Until and unless all spaces have been covered by the 2 concentric circles – characterizing of liberation of all sentinent beings of 10 directions – will the 2 concentric circles stop.Only then the 3rd concentric circle – a robust 3rd concentric circle form a “body mass” around the 2 concentric circle.
7. When this happens, no more stray thoughts will arise within the 3 concentric circles.Stray thoughts that attempt to penetrate the 3 concentric circles will be strongly defended and protected by the 3rd Concentric circle of “body mass” – characterize by “Panna Wisdom”.8. When this happen, the meditator is experiencing what is called “The Supreme Bliss” – everlasting “Silencing of the Mind” – that will go on for hours, an hours, an hours --- never before experience in any human beings – or it believe by any 6 realm states of sentinent beings.
Why do Buddhas, PuSas and Saints – have Aura around their head?
Why do Buddhas, PuSas and Saints – have Aura around their head ? (it is in fact – 3 concentric circles – consisting “No-Self”, Compassion & Panna Wisdom).Supreme Bliss – in Meditation (Aura – 3 concentric circles) 
1. A Mediator sitting in Alpha position observe (or silent chanting of a Buddha name) One’s breath – in tandem of the in & out of the nostril. With sustained mindfulness of the in & out of the breath until, serenity & calmness of the mind is achieved. Any distraction of the mind – eg. Drifting of mind, pain or itch in the body – will be tagged with mental noting of the respective phenomenon. This ensure the meditator is “detached: - from his body phenomena or mental state – but merely as another party “observing” his own body phenomena or mental state.
2. When sufficient Concentration developed through this “sustained Mindfulness”, a sharp pointed “bright light” – which is known as “nimitta” sign emerge near the proximity of the nostril – in which sustained mindfulness and Concentration is directed.
3. When the nimitta appears – it means that Concentration of the Mind is near to perfection – and further directed Mindfulness on the nimitta – to achieve “one pointedness of concentration”.
4. When a pointedness of concentration emerged – the nimitta becomes an intense bright light – unwavering, sharpness and brightness.
5. If mindfulness and concentration iis deepen on the intense nimtta – a strong absorption, suction into the intense light will occur.
6. Rapturing will follow that cause the body to quiver with “goose pimples” erupting under the rapturing of the body. In a short instance, the whole body seems to have vanished.
7. The ear consciousness will be suddenly shut out – and only muffle noise of the background will be heard.
8. Following, happiness arises.
9. Serenity arises.
10. Equanimity arises.
11. Silencing of the mind.
12. Only one pointedness bright light become the only dominant visible phenomena – plus the 4 other mental phenomena.
13.This is said to have achieved the “Jhana state” – Chang Ding or Zen state !
