[1014] "Venerable sir, whatever concentration (samādhi) he has, that is his faculty of concentration (samādhindriya). "For, venerable sir, it may be expected of a noble disciple (ariyasāvaka) who has faith, whose energy is aroused, whose mindfulness is established, and whose mind (citta) is rightly concentrated, that he will understand thus: 'Without discoverable beginning is saṃsāra; a first point is not discerned of beings roaming and wandering on, hindered by ignorance and fettered by craving (taṇhā). But the remainderless fading away and cessation of ignorance, the mass of darkness — this is the peaceful state, this is the sublime state, namely, the stilling of all formations, the relinquishment of all acquisitions (upadhi), the destruction of craving, dispassion, cessation, Nibbāna.'"
