Termo

The opposite of supra-mundane, anything that does not transcend saṃsāra. Translations of this term as ordinary or worldly can be misleading since non-Buddhist meditators who have mastered the four dhyānas (but without being liberated from saṃsāra) and who have immense powers of concentration, magical powers, and so forth cannot really be called “ordinary,” nor are they necessarily worldly in the sense of being materialistically minded and interested only in the present world.
