Hello Teachers/Friends,
What's the pali word for "exquisite" in the following teaching? And what's the exact meaning of it?
"This is peace, this is exquisite [perfect? Complete?] — the stillness of all fabrications; the relinquishment of all acquisitions; the ending of craving; dispassion; cessation [of greed/hatred.delusion]; liberation."
Many thanks! Metta,
