F. Heiler Die Buddhistische Versenkung, 1918). Laymen could pass through the four jh!nas (S iv.301). The
jh!nas are only a means, not the end. To imagine that experiencing them was equivalent to Arahantship
(and was therefore the end aimed at) is condemned (D i.37 ff.) as a deadly heresy. In late Pali we find the
phrase ar(pajjh!n!. This is merely a new name for the last four of the eight Vimokkh!, which culminate in
trance. It was because they made this the aim of their teaching that Gotama rejected the doctrines of his two
teachers. 4)!ra -- K!)!ma & Uddaka -- R!maputta (M i.164 f.). -- The jh!nas are discussed in extenso & in
