[1] 'Monks, for the full comprehension of lust,
eleven qualities must be made to grow.
What eleven?

The first, second, third and fourth musings;
the heart's release by amity, by compassion, sympathy and equanimity;
the realization of the realm of infinite space,
of infinite consciousness,
of no-thing.

These are the eleven."
