🔗📝 collection of notes on AN 8.63

Internal

* Agama || MA 76, doing jhāna in all 4 postures part of all 8 refrains, instead of one line clause in AN 8.63

* The entire chapter in MA that contains MA 76 collects most of the sutras that put the jhāna vitakka squeeze on what vitakka means in first jhāna. Meaning it can only mean verbal, linguistic thoughts, it can not be the Vism. and Sujato redefinition of 'placing the mind'. 


External

AN 8.63, MN 128 samādhi in 3 ways, Sujato's first jhāna progression to higher jhānas in general is completely nonsensical



MN 118 prime example of samadhi in 3 ways (with vitakka, with some vicara, without V&V), B. Sujato AN 8.63 is nonsensical





AN 8.63 samadhi in 3 ways, another fatal problem with B. Sujato's translation, you can't do brahma vihara and jhana simultaneously
