125. “Meditative absorption in cessation” (Skt. nirodhasamāpatti) is defined as “a state of meditation achieved in reliance upon the meditative absorption at the peak of cyclic existence (srid rtse), in which a yogi can remain for many aeons through stopping all gross feelings and perceptions. Syn. the emancipation of cessation (’gog pa’i rnam par thar ba).” Rigzin (2008) p. 64. See glossary entry for “nine successive meditative absorptions” (mthar gyis gnas pa’i snyoms par ’jug pa dgu).
