1. “Nirodha samapatti” is not possible for all who has cultivated the 4 jhānas and the 4 arupavacara samapatti. Just because one has cultivated the 4 jhānas and the 4 arupavacara samapatti that does not mean they can get into “nirodha samapatti.“
- “Nirodha samapatti” means to experience the “full Nibbana” (for up to seven days) before the death of the physical body.
- That is the main point.
2. Anariya yogis can cultivate the 4 jhānas and the 4 arupavacara samapatti. But they cannot get to “nirodha samapatti.“
3. “Nirodha samapatti” is possible only for “cetovimutti Arahants.“
- A “cetovimutti Arahant” is an Arahant who has cultivated the 4 jhānas and the 4 arupavacara samapatti.
5. A “pannavimutti Arahant” is an Arahant who has NOT cultivated ALL of the 4 jhānas and the 4 arupavacara samapatti. They may not have cultivated even a single jhana.
- They also cannot get to “nirodha samapatti.“
Please read the post “Samādhi, Jhāna, and Sammā Samādhi” (especially #10) carefully to understand the above.
