The 3 ways of samadhi, are only mentioned by name in most of the EBT. AN 8.63 is the only sutta that I’m aware of that talks about it in more useful detail.
And you want to study a proper translation of that sutta AN 8.63 as above. If you follow B. Sujato’s translation of V&V, then those 3 samadhis are just gibberish, another one of the series of infinite ducks in his incoherent samadhi system.
SN 47.10 talks about 2 of the 3 ways of samadhi, which are clearly 2 of the 3 of “tayo samadhi”, just not called by that full set of 3.
This article includes a link to the full SN 47.10 correct translation, with an explanation of why B. Sujato’s “placing the mind and keeping it connected” for V&V fails to work.
karl, you have a typo in your thread title. DN only contains 34 suttas, not 44.
