coherence and internal consistency in interpreting religious text, Early Buddhist Meditation The Four Jhānas as the Actualization of Insight by Keren Arbel

KN Snp 5, the Buddha knew about the ambiguities of the word 'body' (kāya) and he spoke accordingly

On the forum section, there's a rebuttal on validity of interpretations of Brahm


Sujato's 3rd jhāna formula kāya/body is incoherent and inconsistent in light of Buddha's very specific and qualified use of kāya (nāma vs. rūpa, ajjhatta and bahiddha)
