in brief:
JST🥪 1: (J)hāna (S)andwich (T)heorem
If the sutta passage has sīla on one end and arahantship on the other,4 jhānas must be sandwiched in between even if the term ‘jhāna’ is not explicitly mentioned.
JST🥪 1.1 Suttas where it explicitly states 4 jhānas are necessary for nirvana
JST🥪 1.2 examples where we apply JST theorem to conclude 4 jhānas must be sandwiched in there
JST🥪 1.3 code phrases that mean "do 4 jhānas"
JST🥪 2 Vitakka and Vāca corollary - proof first jhāna contains verbal linguistic thoughts
JST🥪 3 embodied samādhi corollary – Rūpa is not a-rūpa. Duh!
JST🥪 4 Āneñja corollary – how do we know if the imperturbable is referring to fourth jhāna or the formless attainments?
JST🥪 5 Upekkha corollary – when it’s nirvana context, upekkha is 4th jhāna
