| Tibetan | zhi-bar byed-pa |
| Sanskrit | |
| Pali | |
| Definition | The sixth one out of the nine stages of settling the mind into a state of shamatha. Here, although there is no longer great danger of subtle mental dullness, nevertheless in uplifting the mind, we became too excited and the mental hold became too tight. Consequently, we experience the subtle flightiness of itchiness to leave the object of focus. We need to use strong alertness to detect this and to relax our mental hold slightly. |
