EXTRACT - ENTERING THE FOUR JHANAS (EXTRACT FROM FULL DHAMMA SESSION, Poya)


Listen Later

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

From the request to provide an EXTRACT from the Full Vap Poya Dhamma session (on 9 October 2022) explaining how we enter and develop the four jhānas by contemplating the instructions in the Dvedhāvitakka Sutta (MN 19).  

**Please note - we are examining this teaching from the Buddha with the aspiration for the supramundane development of the Noble Eightfold Path**

In this segment we:  

  • — go through some of the technical aspects of entering the four jhāna concentrations;  
  • — explain the meaning behind some of the key pali words and processes that are associated with each jhāna;  
  • — go through what is abandoned (or ceased) and what is attained for each jhāna concentration; and 
  • — answer the question on "how do we know we have entered each jhāna concentration?"  

It is important to know the process of HOW we enter and abide in the four jhāna concentrations, rather than simply the attainment of jhāna concentration. And to train in these higher concentrations, so we attain them without trouble or difficulty, in order to progress and develop higher wisdom.  

For the Full Vap Poya Dhamma session AND the list of sutta references (on 9 October 2022) - https://bit.ly/3CLFXz8 (YT video) or https://bit.ly/3RNCGTW (audio)
