Clarity! Thank you Beth!

Thanks for talking about this. It is not typically discussed. I heard many of these concept on a Jhana retreat and its a good review

Where did you fina a Jhana retreat?

That’s so interesting… I like the analogy of the Cow wandering to the greener fields. I wonder the benefit to exiting a jhana. I understand for it to be at will…but why exit? I guess that gives more ability to move to greater jhanas, and possible helps Vipassana? Got any insight to why one would exit the attainment?

Yes mastering the sustainability of the Jhana is a task I have yet to accomplish. Mine starts and ends so quickly

Hi Beth, I'm a huge fan of this channel, your videos really expired me to practice Theravada Buddhism. But in my own city, there are no Theravada centers. I stared a Zen one, it is interesting but much different. Most of my questions can't be answered there. What should I do? I fear that, practicing anlone, I may misiterpret things and techniques. Thank you.

Hello Jason! I recommend reading and using Sayadaw U Pandita's book as a meditation manual, it is called "In this very life."🙏☸
