oke, tidak ke samatha jg. yg saya tanya bag mana selain kitab komentar yg menunjukan kasina = samatha...
Bro Tesla yang baik, saya tidak menemukan "word to word" kasina = samatha seperti yang dikatakan bro Tesla. Tetapi secara jelas juga dikatakan dalam Maha Sakuludayi Sutta, Majjhima Nikaya 77. Bahwa bahwa Sang Buddha mengajarkan untuk mengembangkan kasina ke seluruh penjuru tanpa batas, ini maksudnya adalah pengembangan Samatha.

http://www.metta.lk/tipitaka/2Sutta-Pitaka/2Majjhima-Nikaya/Majjhima2/077-mahasakuludayi-e1.htmlDalam Sutta yang sama Sang Buddha juga menyebutkan mengenai metode Beliau sehingga para murid mengetahui bahwa tubuh mereka terdiri dari empat unsur (four great elements), berikut cuplikannya:
"Again, Udàyi,
I have declared this method to my disciples, by which method my disciples know, this body of mine is made of
the four great elements, is produced by mother and father, supported on rice and bread is subject to change through decay, brushing, breaking up and destruction and my consciousness is attached there, bound there. Like a comely lapis gem of high birth, having eight facets and in it is a string either blue, yellow, red or white or pale yellow. In this manner I have declared this method to my disciples. Fallen to this method my disciples know, this body of mine is made of the four great elements, produced by mother and father, supported on rice and bread is subject to change through decay, brushing, breaking up and destruction and this my consciousness is attached there, bound there. Thus too my disciples abide aiming perfect knowledge for emancipation."
Lalu bandingkan mengenai pengembangan kasina dalam Sutta yang sama,
"Again, Udàyi,
I have declared to my disciples the method for developing the ten kasina signs. One
perceives the sign of earth, above, below, across without another, limitlessly. One perceives the sign of water, above, below, across without another, limitlessly. One perceives the sign of fire, above, below, across without another, limitlessly. One perceives the sign of air, above, below, across without another, limitlessly. One perceives the sign blue, above, below, across without another, limitlessly. One perceives the sign yellow, above, below, across without another, limitlessly One perceives the sign red, above, below, across without another, limitlessly One perceives the sign white, above, below, across without another, limitlessly. One perceives the sign space, above, below, across without another, limitlessly One perceives the sign consciousness, above, below, across without another, limitlessly. Thus too my disciples abide aiming perfect knowledge for emancipation."
Menurut bro Tesla kasina itu apa...? Objek Vipassana....?
