Sáriputta tells Ananda that he has attained to a state of cessation of perception and feeling. S.iii.238.
Sáriputta tells the monks that one, who has achieved virtue, concentration and insight, may both enter the cessation of perception and feeling and also emerge there from. Udáyin (Láludáyí), who is present, contradicts this three times, but none upbraids him. Sáriputta's words are repeated before the Buddha, and Udáyin acts similarly. The Buddha rebukes Ananda for not admonishing Udáyin. Later, the Buddha talks of the matter to Upavána and tells him of five qualities which a monk should possess. A.iii.192ff.
