1 – Notes

almost exactly the same sutta as KN Iti 111
(to help fill out ellided 5 hindrances)
AN 3.58
“katamāni pañcaṅgāni pahīnāni honti?
kāmacchando pahīno hoti,
byāpādo pahīno hoti,
thinamiddhaṃ pahīnaṃ hoti,
uddhaccakukkuccaṃ pahīnaṃ hoti,
vicikicchā pahīnā hoti.
imāni pañcaṅgāni vippahīnāni honti.

+

2 – walking in jhāna comment

the word jhāna not used here explicitly (but is in AN 3.63).
Here, you have to put 2 + 2 together.
When you have 5 hindrances removed, check,
samadhi, check, ekagga, check, sati,
check, and the clincher is kaya-passaddhi (bodily tranquility).
It’s possible to have 2nd through fourth jhana quality of samadhi
without being one of the four jhanas if the body isn’t relaxed
or calm enough for piti-sukha juice to pump through your veins.
But if you got passadhi, then sukha follows that awakening factor like a shadow in the 7sb (see SN 46.2,
SN 46.3).
To believe that the walking described in this sutta is not the four jhānas,
at the least the first 3 jhānas, would be like someone who happened to catch clark kent wearing a 3 piece suit,
glasses, and flying through the air and saying,
“that’s not superman, superman wouldn’t wear glasses,
he wears red and blue tights with an “S” on his chest.”

(trans.
There are four types of exertion.
[They are the same as the four aspects of right effort in the noble eightfold path.
What are the four exertions?

[2] The exertion of abandoning.
[3] The exertion of development.
[4] The exertion of protection.

8 – [[1] The exertion of restraint.]

And what is the exertion of restraint?
[It is when a monk restrains the six sense faculties.]
[1.1 The eye-faculty]
When the eye sees form,
he does not grab on to its (nimitta) sign,
he does not grab on to its features.
Because if he did not restrain the eye-faculty,
avarice, distress, and evil unskillful Dharmas would invade his mind.
[Avarice and distress is a reference to the five hindrances.
Therefore the monk practices restraint.
He protects the eye-faculty.
He undertakes the restraint of the eye-faculty.
[1.2 The ear-faculty]
When the ear hears sounds,
he does not grab on to its (nimitta) sign,
he does not grab on to its features.
Because if he did not restrain the ear-faculty,
avarice, distress, and evil unskillful Dharmas would invade his mind.

he does not grab on to its (nimitta) sign,
he does not grab on to its features.
Because if he did not restrain the nose-faculty,
avarice, distress, and evil unskillful Dharmas would invade his mind.
[Avarice and distress is a reference to the five hindrances.

He undertakes the restraint of the nose-faculty.
[1.4 The tongue-faculty]
When the tongue tastes flavors,

he does not grab on to its features.
Because if he did not restrain the tongue-faculty,

[1.5 The body-faculty]
When the body senses tactile-sensations,
he does not grab on to its (nimitta) sign,
he does not grab on to its features.
Because if he did not restrain the body-faculty,
avarice, distress, and evil unskillful Dharmas would invade his mind.
[Avarice and distress is a reference to the five hindrances.
Therefore the monk practices restraint.
He protects the body-faculty.
He undertakes the restraint of the body-faculty.
[1.6 The mind-faculty]
When the mind cognizes dharma [mind-objects],
he does not grab on to its (nimitta) sign,
he does not grab on to its features.
Because if he did not restrain the mind-faculty,
avarice, distress, and evil unskillful Dharmas would invade his mind.
[Avarice and distress is a reference to the five hindrances.
Therefore the monk practices restraint.
He protects the mind-faculty.
He undertakes the restraint of the mind-faculty.
[The restraint of the six sense faculties]
is called the exertion of restraint.

10 – [[3] The exertion of development.]

And what is the exertion of development?
[It is when a monk develops the seven awakening factors.
[3.1 Remembering of ☸Dharma awakening factor]
A monk develops the Remembering [of ☸Dharma] awakening factor.
That factor is dependent on seclusion,
dependent on dispassion,
dependent on cessation,
and it matures into relinquishment [,
which is a synonym for nirvana].
[3.2 ☸Dharma-investigation awakening factor]
A monk develops the ☸Dharma-investigation awakening factor.
That factor is dependent on seclusion,
dependent on dispassion,
dependent on cessation,
and it matures into relinquishment [,
which is a synonym for nirvana].
[3.3 Vigor awakening factor]
A monk develops the vigor awakening factor.
That factor is dependent on seclusion,
dependent on dispassion,
dependent on cessation,
and it matures into relinquishment [,
which is a synonym for nirvana].
[3.4 Rapture awakening factor]
A monk develops the rapture awakening factor.
That factor is dependent on seclusion,
dependent on dispassion,
dependent on cessation,
and it matures into relinquishment [,
which is a synonym for nirvana].
[3.5 Pacification awakening factor]
A monk develops the pacification awakening factor.
That factor is dependent on seclusion,
dependent on dispassion,
dependent on cessation,
and it matures into relinquishment [,
which is a synonym for nirvana].
[3.6 Undistractible-lucidity awakening factor]
A monk develops the Undistractible-lucidity awakening factor.

and it matures into relinquishment [,
which is a synonym for nirvana].
[The development of these seven awakening factors]
is called the exertion of development.
❧

11 – [[4] The exertion of continuous, repeated protection.]

And what is the exertion of protection?
[There are 5 types of excellent (nimitta) signs used in undistractible-lucidity that should be continuously,
repeatedly, protected and guarded carefully when they arise.]
[For a skilled meditator, the nimitta images are visual images that appear in the mind's eye of the meditator,
whether their eyes are closed or open.
It appears as clearly and vividly as if a normal person using their open eyes were looking at a corpse in a graveyard.]
[For a less skilled meditator, it is ok to use a nimitta image of a mentally created visualization,
or just a concept or idea for that nimitta.]
If a monk has an excellent nimitta of samādhi arise,
an excellent sign seen while in undistractible-lucidity,
he must continuously and repeatedly protect that nimitta [and the high quality of his undistractible-lucidity].
[These are the five types of excellent nimitta images that may arise.]
[4.1] The perception of a skeleton.
[4.2] The perception of a worm infested corpse.
[4.3] The perception of a blackish purplish discolored corpse.
[4.4] The perception of a fissured corpse,
full of holes.
[4.5] The perception of a swollen, bloated corpse.
[The repeated, continuous protection and maintenance of these five excellent samādhi nimittas]
is called the exertion of protection.
[That concludes the explanation]
of these four exertions.

[Here is a verse that summarizes the discourse,
and also serves as a gloss for the important word
'ardency' (ātāpī),

restraint and abandoning,
development (and) protection.
these {four} exertions
