Vitakka vicāra (Jhana-factors)

“The Origin of Buddhist Meditation”, looks like. Carried by ahandfulofleaves.org, thankfully…

While I can appreciate where this is coming from much more now, I’m still holding out for a proper accounting of AN 10.7 et. al.

That would be awesome. I’d also wonder whether it lends any clues to the issue of space vis-à-vis the section on the ‘seven stations for consciousness’.

Mmhmm, that’s a good one, thank you.


Circling back, @silence, what do you think about the reframing of the jhāna issue as one that concerns the question of whether the mind-made self-acquisition takes up space or not? An illustration of the difference, afaict, being here.
