Steadiness of consciousness
Description:
In Hinayana Buddhism, some sources do not list steadiness of consciousness as separate from concentration (stabilization), of which it may be considered a short-lived equivalent. Others consider it separately as arising, for example, in unprofitable consciousness rooted in delusion and associated with uncertainty and equanimity, and in eye, ear, nose, tongue and body consciousnesses (indeterminate resultant with profitable result).Context:
One of the formations aggregate (mental coefficients) of Hinayana Buddhism, being listed among the constant states which appear in their true nature, and as general secondary (sometimes present in any consciousness).<
