[1][pts][olds] "Bhikkhus, there are these ten kasiṇa bases.
What ten?
One person perceives the earth kasiṇa above, below, across, non-dual, measureless.
One person perceives the water kasiṇa ...
the fire kasiṇa ...
the air kasiṇa ...
the blue kasiṇa ...
the yellow kasiṇa ...
the red kasiṇa ...
the white kasiṇa ...
the space kasiṇa ...
the consciousness kasiṇa above, below, across, non-dual, measureless.
These are the ten kasiṇa bases."
