I just posted a revised version of the following post: “Samādhi, Jhāna, and Sammā Samādhi.”

  • I hope to post soon a rewritten version of the post “Jhāna and Magga phala – Very Different,”  which I removed a few days ago. 
  • These complexities in jhāna illustrate why the Buddha stated that “jhānavisayo acinteyyo” OR “the subject of jhāna is fully comprehensible only to a Buddha.” See “Acinteyya Sutta (AN 4.77).” Four things are fully comprehensible only to a Buddha: “knowledge base of a Buddha and the subjects of jhānakamma vipāka, and the world (universe).”  
  • Hopefully, I am close to “getting things straightened out” to a reasonable level.
  • Don’t hesitate to ask questions.
