Difference between Buddha's Jhāna, and Vism. + Ajahn Brahm redefinition of Jhāna explained in 15 seconds of video

 Reading the sutta passages on jhāna, and putting those instructions into practice is like this:

with Vism. + Ajahn Brahm redefinition of Jhāna

Using a crooked dictionary where "verbal linguistic thoughts" are redefined as "no thinking is possible because mind is in a frozen stupor",

and (physical) "body", is redefined as "body of only mental factors, physical senses are shut off". 


Notice at the end of that video clip, the guy is living in denial and insists, "Hey! That [bumpy ride] smoothed right out!"

Just like Ajahn Brahm and Vism. apologists insist all that dictionary rewriting is smooth, coherent, and makes perfect sense.


Buddha's Jhāna

Using an honest dictionary




Ajahn Brahm and his followers stubbornly insist 

that an automobile with four square wheels is "real jhāna" raft that crosses the ocean of suffering and takes you to the island of nirvana
