安穩 [an wen]—Body and mind at rest.
[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
安穩 [an wen]—Anwen—[Term] Refers to a state where the body and mind are at peace and stable.
The Chapter on Parables (譬喻品 [pi yu pin]) of the Lotus Sutra (法華經 [fa hua jing]) states: "The body and mind are at ease, quickly attaining security and peace."
Volume 14 of Wenju (文句 [wen ju]) says: "Not endangered by the Five Defilements (五濁 [wu zhuo]) and Eight Sufferings (八苦 [ba ku]), hence it is called 'An' (peace/security). Even if the sun falls and there is a violent storm, it cannot be moved, hence it is called 'Wen' (stability/firmness)."
The character 穩 [wen] (wěn) can also be written as 隱 [yin] (yǐn).
安穩—【術語】身安心穩也。法華經譬喻品曰：「身意泰然，快得安穩。」文句十四曰：「不為五濁八苦所危，故名安。日倒暴風所不能動，故名穩。」穩通作隱。
