Re: Necessity of jhanas: panna-vimutto and sukkhavipassako

Dear Robert,

Thank you for translation. According to this passage the way of
sukkhavipassaka is quite difficult.

Are there any certain examples of sukkhavipassaka in the Tipitaka?

Certainly not all - peta can't do it.
Yet in my opinion any person who is able to fall in love deeply, is able as
well to develop more skillful jhana.

"Lakkhana jhana" is a part and parcel of overall Buddhist jhana practice.
