AN 7.41 Dutiyavasasutta: Mastery of the Mind (2nd)

[Note: “Immersion” is the translation of “samādhi”. This is often rendered as “concentration” or “one-pointedness of mind.”]

“Mendicants, having seven qualities Sāriputta has mastered his mind and is not mastered by it. What seven? Sāriputta is skilled at immersion, skilled in entering immersion, skilled in remaining in immersion, skilled in emerging from immersion, skilled in gladdening the mind for immersion, skilled in the meditation subjects for immersion, and skilled in projecting the mind purified by immersion. Having these seven qualities Sāriputta has mastered his mind and is not mastered by it.”
