In Buddhism
Chinese Buddhism
三昧地 [san mei de]—Samādhi, "putting together, composing the mind, intent contemplation, perfect absorption, union of the meditator with the object of meditation." (M. W.) Also 三摩地 [san mo de] (三摩提 [san mo ti], 三摩帝 [san mo di], 三摩底 [san mo di]). Interpreted by 定 [ding] or 正定 [zheng ding], the mind fixed and undisturbed; by 正受 [zheng shou] correct sensation of the object contemplated; by 調直定 [diao zhi ding] ordering and fixing the mind; by 正心行處 [zheng xin xing chu] the condition when the motions of the mind are steadied and harmonized with the object; by 息慮凝心 [xi lu ning xin] the cessation of distraction and the fixation of the mind; by 等持 [deng chi] the mind held in equilibrium; by 奢摩他 [she mo ta], i.e. 止息 [zhi xi] to stay the breathing. It is described as concentration of the mind (upon an object). The aim is 解脫 [jie tuo], mukti, deliverance from all the trammels of life, the bondage of the passions and reincarnations. It may pass from abstraction to ecstasy, or rapture, or trance. Dhyāna 定 [ding] represents a simpler form of contemplation; samāpatti 三摩鉢底 [san mo bo di] a stage further advanced; and samādhi the highest stage of the Buddhist equivalent for Yoga, though Yoga is considered by some as a Buddhist development differing from samādhi. The 翻譯名義 [fan yi ming yi] says: 思專 [si zhuan] when the mind has been concentrated, then 志一不分 [zhi yi bu fen] the will is undivided; when 想寂 [xiang ji] active thought has been put to rest, then 氣虛神 [qi xu shen]朗 the material becomes etherealized and the spirit liberated, on which 智 [zhi] knowledge, or the power to know, has free course, and there is no mystery into which it cannot probe. Cf. 智度論 [zhi du lun] 5, 20, 23, 28; 止觀 [zhi guan] 2; 大乘義章 [da cheng yi zhang] 2, 9, 1 3, 20, etc. There are numerous kinds and degrees of samādhi.
