Question 214: @ 23:30Can householders also attain Jhanas if they live by the 5 precepts and meditate daily? Or is it necessary to ordain as monk first?

Question 215: @ 26:19Is taking refuge in triple gem, maintaining five moral precepts and daily meditation practice sufficient for householders to attain Jhanas? Are there any other things householders should do to improve their progress in meditation?

Question 216: @ 50:33How come Devadatta did not become enlightened -or even a Sotapanna- even though he had attained very high Jhana states of mind?
