Samāpatti


Samāpatti (Sanskrit; Pali; traditional Chinese: 三摩跋提; ; pinyin: sānmóbátí) is a common term in Buddhism and Hindu Yoga, frequently used as a synonym for samādhi.

Samāpatti stands for correct (samyag) acquisition (āpatti) of Truth. It is a form of alaukika-pratyakṣa (extraordinary perception) forming thus a legitimate part of the perceptual (pratyakṣa]] instruments of adequate knowledge (pramāṇa).

In Buddhism, samapatti refers to the eight jhanas.

In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, samāpatti is discussed as the universal form of the Yoga called samprajñāta-samadhi, or savikalpa samadhi, followed by asamprajñāta-samadhi, or nirvikalpa samadhi. It has as its prerequisite the annihilation of all (non-sattvic) modifications (vṛtti) of consciousness (citta).
