“Mendicants, there are these seven prerequisites for immersion. “Sattime, bhikkhave, samādhiparikkhārā. What seven? Katame satta? Right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, and right mindfulness. Sammādiṭṭhi, sammāsaṅkappo, sammāvācā, sammākammanto, sammāājīvo, sammāvāyāmo, sammāsati. Unification of mind with these seven factors as prerequisites is what is called noble right immersion ‘with its vital conditions’ and also ‘with its prerequisites’.” Yā kho, bhikkhave, imehi sattahaṅgehi cittassekaggatā parikkhatā, ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ariyo sammāsamādhi saupaniso itipi saparikkhāro itipī”ti.

Dutiyaṁ.
