3.106
The Treatise on the Diamond Cutter states: "Absorption is called serenity; one who attains dhyāna is said to be tranquil. Tranquility has two kinds: first, tranquility of mind; second, tranquility of body. Now this is distinguished with four propositions: 1. There is one whose body desires tranquility but whose mind is not tranquil, which refers to a greedy monk sitting in meditation under the forest trees. 2. There is one whose mind is tranquil but whose body is not tranquil, which refers to a monk free from greed and anger who associates with kings and ministers. 3. There is one whose body and mind are both tranquil, which refers to all noble ones. 4. There is one whose body and mind are both not tranquil, which refers to ordinary beings."
