Visuddhimagga XXIII-32

874. Ayaṃ pana vitthāro – idha bhikkhu nirodhaṃ samāpajjitukāmo katabhattakicco sudhotahatthapādo vivitte okāse supaññattamhi āsane nisīdati pallaṅkaṃ ābhujitvā ujuṃ kāyaṃ paṇidhāya parimukhaṃ satiṃ upaṭṭhapetvā, so paṭhamaṃ jhānaṃ samāpajjitvā vuṭṭhāya tattha saṅkhāre aniccato dukkhato anattato vipassati.

其次为详说:兹有比丘,欲入灭定,食事已毕,善洗手足,于远离处,坐于善敷的座上,结跏趺已,持身端正,置念面前,入初禅已,出定之际,而观诸行为无常苦无我。

Ñ(XXIII,32): But the detail is this. When a bhikkhu who desires to attain cessation has finished all that has to do with his meal and has washed his hands and feet well, he sits down on a well-prepared seat in a secluded place. Having folded his legs crosswise, set his body erect, established mindfulness in front of him, he attains the first jhana, and on emerging he sees the formations in it with insight as impermanent, painful, not-self.
