Discussion

The second of the four Formless absorptions. Its name comes from the training that produces it: a meditator on Infinte Space enters the preparation for Infinite Consciousness and that there is no way to perceive mere space, and so thinks that consciousness is infinite. Once the actual absorption is attained, it can have any dharma as its focus. DKC
