What is NIRODHA SAMAPATTI? by Bhante Punnaji

In attaining Awakening and becoming the Buddha, Prince Siddhārtha had attained the ultimate state in meditation, which is the complete stopping of all sensations and feelings (Saññā Vedayita Nirodha). Upon awakening from this state where the activity called "mind" had stopped completely, he had awakened from the dream of existence. This awakening is the attainment of Nibbāna, by putting an end to existence (Nirodha-samāpatti). The Buddha then went on to teach his disciples a "shortcut" where one can become awakened without having to go through the complete stopping of sensation and feeling (Saññā Vedayita Nirodha).
