Thanks, Lang.

I watched the second video, which does give the instructions. They are very simple (six R’s): Recognize (bad thoughts), Release, Relax (with mundane metta), Re-assemble?, Return, Repeat.

  • So, it is another variation of the breath mediation. Instead of focusing the mind on the breath, focus on “spreading metta.”
  • In a way, it is an improvement over the neutral breath.

How easy is it to get a jhana using this method? Please comment if anyone other than Amin has used this method. Amin says it is easy.

  • Is one supposed to do “insight meditation” to attain magga phala? That is the next question. 
  • If there is an instruction video on that, please post it. I would like to see what that involves.
