It's a wonderful retreat centre. Your own room and ensuite and there is a schedule but you follow your own schedule and flow and that's great. His dharma talks are fantastic and there is so much joy.

Thank You AB ! 😊 Loved your cell joke and the great example!😂 Yes, the levels of Janna’s are basically the higher concentration levels of the breadth and insight meditation. The levels represent the equananimity & renunciation levels land contentments.

Modern research on Near Death Experience by Raymond moody, reincarnation memories by Ian Stevenson/Jim trucker and past lives regression by Brian Weiss all independently but coincidentally show that our consciousness survive death, we live many lives and our thoughts and actions matter in the hereafter. So be kind and helpful to others, be virtuous, meditate and cultivate ourselves to higher spiritual levels. Cheers.

When one in these states it's impossible to think about anything. Only pure awareness remains. Then how vipassana can be applied when one can't think at all? Or maybe there is something else besides simply being pure awareness?

After they are developed like a wheel in tanden. Just do samadhi first then vipasana rotate between the 2 like a ceaselessly wheel of dharma that cutt theough all delusion. Good luck on the path practice daily and remember the suffering of samsara and death to motivate yourself for intensive training. Good luck on the path to Dharma.

You can start with vipassana as well and develop samadhi along the way! Whatever is better for you. But starting with vipassana is the more safe way to actually get to the goal, especially as a lay person.

Of course...Renunciation is a state of mind.

In Anguttara Nikaya sutta no. 94, I think that Buddha himself said that it is possible to develop insight without jhanas. It would be interesting to know what Bhikkhu Bodhi thinks about it.

Right, it's well established in Theravada culture that there is no need to put your time exclusively for attending jhanic, it'll anyways happen during practice.
