Sphere of Consciousness

Viññāṇañc­āyatana (SN 28.6)

1-6. Sāvatthi. ... re ...

Venerable Ānanda saw venerable Sāriputta approaching in the distance and said to him: “Friend Sāriputta, your mental faculties are clear, your face seems clear. In what abiding did you spend the day?”

7-8. “Here, friend, I overcame all the sphere of space and with `consciousness is boundless' attained to the sphere of consciousness. Yet, friend, it did not occur to me, `I attained to the sphere of consciousness, or got up from it''.”

“Friend Sāriputta, since long your latent tendency of measuring conceitedly has been completely destroyed, therefore it did not occur to you, `I attain, or attained to the sphere of space or got up from it'.”
