[94] **"Relying on that — a peace subject to disturbance, dependently arisen" (tannissito kuppapaṭiccasantiṃ):** there are three kinds of peace (santi): absolute peace (accantasanti), peace by the respective factor (tadaṅgasanti), and conventional peace (sammatisanti).
Which is absolute peace? Absolute peace is called the deathless, Nibbāna — that which is the stilling of all volitional formations, the relinquishment of all acquisitions (upadhi), the destruction of craving (taṇhā), fading away (virāga), cessation (nirodha), Nibbāna. This is absolute peace.
Which is peace by the respective factor? For one who has attained the first jhāna, the hindrances (nīvaraṇa) are stilled. For one who has attained the second jhāna, thought and examination (vitakka-vicāra) are stilled. For one who has attained the third jhāna, rapture (pīti) is stilled. For one who has attained the fourth jhāna, pleasure and pain are stilled. For one who has attained the sphere of the infinity of space (ākāsānañcāyatana), perception of form, perception of impingement, and perception of diversity are stilled. For one who has attained the sphere of the infinity of consciousness (viññāṇañcāyatana), the perception of the sphere of the infinity of space is stilled. For one who has attained the sphere of nothingness (ākiñcaññāyatana), the perception of the sphere of the infinity of consciousness is stilled. For one who has attained the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception (nevasaññānāsaññāyatana), the perception of the sphere of nothingness is stilled. This is peace by the respective factor.
Which is conventional peace? The sixty-two speculative views are called conventional peace — peaces consisting in views. Moreover, it is conventional peace that is intended here by "peace."
**"Relying on that — a peace subject to disturbance, dependently arisen":** he relies on, adheres to, approaches, cleaves to, and is resolved upon a peace that is disturbable, thoroughly disturbable, shakeable, thoroughly shakeable, wavering, subject to impact, formed, thoroughly formed; impermanent, conditioned, dependently arisen, subject to destruction, subject to vanishing, subject to fading away, subject to cessation. Therefore: "relying on that — a peace subject to disturbance, dependently arisen." Hence the Blessed One said:
> For whom dhammas, formulated and conditioned,
> stand placed in front, not clear [of defilement];
> since he sees advantage in himself,
> he relies on that — a peace subject to disturbance, dependently arisen.
