āCattÄrome, bhikkhave, jhÄyÄ«. āMendicants, there are these four meditators.
Katame cattÄro? What four?
Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco jhÄyÄ« samÄdhismiį¹ samÄdhikusalo hoti, na samÄdhismiį¹ Ärammaį¹akusalo. One meditator is skilled in immersion but not in the supports for immersion. ā¦ā āSupportā is Ärammaį¹a, namely the different subjects of meditation. This is the only term in this list that does not appear elsewhere in the early canon. It does not mean āobjectā, which is exclusively a later sense, derived from the (again later) use of the kasiį¹a as a physical āobjectā or ādiskā on which to focus attention (for the Sutta usage, see MN 77:24.11). An āobjectā is something that has an āobjectiveā reality independent of the observer. But for the Suttas, meditations like the breath, or love, or an inner reflection on mortality are dimensions of living experience that change and grow through and with the course of meditation. The meditation subject is not something at which the mind is directed, it is something with which the mind grows.
