Lots of new stuff in the last 2 and a half years. 
Too many to list.
Main one justifying new blog entry, is redesign of home page.
Before, it was designed to please me, super dense with everything in one master control panel.
I've redesigned it to be friendly to newbies and everyone really.
Clear structure, more use of space. 
At someone's request, I added a lucid24.org google site search at top of home page.

    one of these days I will, but probably not for at least a few more years, since I anticipate many additions, especially to the EBPedia.
    Send me a private message on reddit or dhammawheel, i got some good news about KN Pe. I don't always see comments to my blog posts, so everyone should keep that in mind. (see 'contact info' for more reliable ways)

AN 9.36, MN 64, MN 111: How does Ajahn Brahm and Sujato's "Jhāna" work here?

What these 3 suttas have in common, AN 9.36, MN 64, MN 111, is the very interesting feature of explicitly describing doing vipassana, while one is in the jhāna and the first 3 formless attainments.

That’s what I said, but why did I say it? Kiñcetaṁ   paṭicca   vuttaṁ? Take a mendicant who, q uite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskill...

Pāḷi and Sanskrit definition of Viveka
