2.433

This is translated as 'cessation' (zhi); it is an alternative name for meditative absorption (samādhi), meaning quiescence, indicating that regarding defiled and pure objects the mind does not falsely grasp at conditions. If explained according to the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, it is called capable of extinguishing, capable of subduing, quiescent, distant departure, and capable of purifying, etc. It concludes: 'For this reason it is called the mark of meditative absorption.'
