🔗📝 AN 8.30 collection of external notes and research

 internal notes:

AN 8.30 - 🔗🔊 Anuruddha [Anuruddha­mahā-vitakka]:
eight vitakka (thoughts) that lead to 4j and nirvana, with cmy on each. Anuruddha attains arahantship at the end


4👑☸ → V&V💭 → V&V💭 in 1st Jhāna🌘

AN 8.30: In this sutta, it's notable that these 8 thoughts, explicitly labeled as 'vitakka', are the same vitakka that transitions right into the sa-vitakka of first jhana. Especially notice the vitakka #8, which mentions papanca/proliferation of MN 18, which would be an excessive type of thinking disqualifying one from first jhana. And it serves as an example of what type of attenuated vitakka that MN 19MN 78MN 125 permit in first jhāna.

AN 8.30 maybe try having faith in the Buddha instead of Ajahn Brahm and Sujato?


AN 8.30 B. Sujato egregious mistranslation of vitakka (thinking) in 4 jhānas context, turns EBT jhana into Vism. LBT "jhana" frozen stupor
