The Four Formless States of Consciousness in Buddhism

The Four Formless States of Consciousness in Buddhism

AKASANANTYAYATANA: We become limitless space.

VIJNANANANTYAYATANA: We reach the state of limitless consciousness.

AKINCANYAYATANA: We meditate on the non-distinction between the knower and the known.

NAIVASANJNANASANJNAYATANA: We become the state of neither perception nor non-perception.

Just thought you should know so that when you achieve these states you'll know what to tell your friends.
