The Supreme Buddha, after having attained the enlightenment, tested out his
enlightened mind, filled with supreme loving-kindness, to see whether he could
maintain that particular frame of mind on every posture without any change
whatsoever. Accordingly, the Supreme Buddha tested out his enlightened mind
while sitting, standing, walking and lying respectively in the first, second, third
and fourth week after the enlightenment.
We could also emulate our great master and enjoy the bliss of Nibbana while
maintaining a meritorious mind filled with loving- kindness according to our
competencies.
