[422] "And what, Ānanda, is that other happiness more excellent and more sublime than that happiness? Here, Ānanda, a bhikkhu, by completely surmounting the base of the infinity of consciousness (viññāṇañcāyatana), [aware that] 'there is nothing,' enters and dwells in the base of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana). This, Ānanda, is that other happiness more excellent and more sublime than that happiness. Now, Ānanda, those who would speak thus: 'This is the supreme, peaceful happiness and joy that beings experience' — this I do not concede to them. For what reason? Because there is, Ānanda, another happiness more excellent and more sublime than that happiness."
