“In this sutta, Lord Buddha talks about various objects of meditation (Kasina) which he teaches to his disciples. He even teaches meditation with colours and elements like fire. Is the English translation of the sutta correct or is it a misinterpretation? Mahāsakuludāyisutta
Furthermore, I have explained to my disciples a practice that they use to develop the ten universal dimensions of meditation.”

Hope you and every living being are doing well Jittananto,
In regards to the question if Lord Buddha taught meditation with colours and elements like fire, there’s been previous discussion’s with the same or similar questions. I hope you’ll find what you’re looking for.
Recently I came across a sutta that might be useful to see if the Buddha did teach colour or element meditation or not and if one does believe the Buddha did teach colour and / or element meditation, then the sutta teaches how the practitioner should view / perceive any of those attainments :)
