I asked: “Can one attain the Sotapanna stage by using Satipatthana? “

  • You wrote: Yes.

You also wrote: “The Tipitaka explicitly states that Satipatthana is the direct path (ekayano maggo) to purification and realization.”

  1. That means Satipatthana is enough to attain all four magga phala, correct?
  2. However, the Anapanasati Sutta also states that it leads to all magga phala.
  3. Can you then explain the need for two types of Anapanasati and Satipatthana?
