Majjhima Nikāya 20 (Vitakkasaṇṭhānasutta)

Vitakkasaṇṭhānasutta sutta:
Doubt on method number 5.
Need for help?

One Resolution as per ChatGPT:
5th method for lower enlightenment stages, such as the Bodhisattva.
One of the practices of Gautama Buddha before enlightenment.
And with the above point, answer to the problem and doubt no more.
