sutta refs (alphabetical)
KN Iti 45 mindfulness is 24/7, here explicitly sati WITH jhāna: satimanto ca jhāyino;
KN Iti 46 Not just noble ones, Buddha tells all disciples to do enjoy jhāna and be in samādhi all the time, tasmā sadā jhānaratā samāhitā
KN Iti 81 jhāna all the time, jhāyinaṁ sātatikaṁ
MN 125.3.10 since sati is 24/7, and here sati with no kāma-vitakka/thoughts of sensuality = first jhāna, jhāna is also 24/7
KN Thag 15.2 nāga (elephant and jhāna meditator) always in samādhi, all postures
KN Thag 16.7 jhāna while eating, walking and interacting with people on almsround
SN 4.23 arahant described by Buddha as always enjoying jhāna, jhāyī jhānarato sadā; 🔗📝
SN 7.9 fire metaphor for jhāna, always blazing in samādhi, Buddha always in samādhi, Nicc-agginī nicca-samāhitatto
SN 21.1 defines noble silence as second jhāna. Since monks when together are told to either “talk about dhamma, or abide in noble silence, you'd expect monks to be standing or walking with eyes open in many of those contexts.
