Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi discusses Anguttara Nikaya, Book of Fours, sutta no. 124-126, on the relationship between the jhanas, brahmaviharas, insight, and rebirth in the pure abodes.
13:30 to 18:00 explains differences between Buddhist Jhana and Advaita/Neo-Advaita/New-Age-Pure-Awareness... teachings so prevalent nowadays. Thanks Bhante for this wonderful explanation and illumination! 51:30 explains Bhrahma Viharas as possible means to enter Jhanas
WONDERFUL Master Bodhi. Master Bodhi has made clear what was once cloudy. He has turned upright what was once overthrown revealing what was hidden, showing the way to one who was lost, or holding up a lamp in the dark for those with eyesight to see forms. BODHI IS SARIPUTA REBORN
