Before the Buddha attained enlightenment, he learnt meditation from the
two Hindu gurus, and attainted the meditation states,
aaki~nca~n~naayata and then n'eva sa~n~aa-naasa~n~naayatana. That mean,
these two meditation states are from the Hindu tradition. How about
this final meditation state, sa~n~naa-vedayita-nirodha (nirodha-
samaapatti)? Does this state also come from or share with the Hindu
meditation tradition? Or it is entirely a Buddhist meditation state,
not being shared with the Hindu tradition? Please give me advice. Thank
you.
