Ummmm... Samadhi can't be desribed because descriptions require there to be mental labels associated with the thing that you're trying to describe. By the nature of "no thought," there's no description possible because there are no mental labels possible. There's no need to attempt to come up with a better way of not-describing something that can't be described, by the very definition of "description," then to say what I just said. ------------------------ Yahoo!
