Discussion

The special dhyana is a level of dhyana which is more refined than the first dhyana but less refined than the second dhyana. It is characterized as a level of dhyana that has examination but no consideration. In the Theravada Abhidhamma literature, this is considered the second of five dhyanas. DKC
