anyone have any idea what the last section of quoted passage means?
Is it referring to cessation of perception and feeling?

Re: "Gata" translated as "Immersed"
quoting scholar...: In the Janapada Sutta of the Satipaṭṭhāna Saṃyutta in the Saṃyutta Nikāya, the Buddha made the following simile: Suppose a great crowd were to assemble to see the most beautiful girl of the country singing and dancing. A man would be ordered to carry around a bowl of oil full to...

Re: "Gata" translated as "Immersed"
In http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/study/bodymind.html I see Aj Thanissaro translating Kayagata-sati as "Mindfulness Immersed in the Body" Seems like a stretch to me to translate "gata" as "immersed". What do you think? What alternatives do you propose Bhante? I'm using AT's 'immersed' for now, ...

Re: "Gata" translated as "Immersed"
Hi Assaji, can you expand on what you mean contradicting the cmy? KN Ps bit you quoted looks like it's defining KGS (kaya gata..) as the exercises listed in MN 119. Does "Mindfulness Immersed in the Body" contradict that? And which meaning of pavatta is being applied in the KN Ps cmy? Could you stat...

Re: Culadasa, accomplished "jhana-heavy" Vism. Jhana meditator, and his response to sexual misconduct charges
... There is a very senior Theravadan monk in my country who has a legendary reputation for rudeness and what looks like bad temper, but he still attracts a devoted following! I'm not trying to defend anger and rudeness by the way, I'm just trying to make a clear distinction between people's cognit...

Re: Culadasa, accomplished "jhana-heavy" Vism. Jhana meditator, and his response to sexual misconduct charges
... The same applies here on DW, in a very minor way. People who claim or imply that they are holier-than-thou (or in Buddhist terms, "more-accomplished-than-thou" or "more-knowledgeable-than-thou") on DW are advised to avoid personalised disputes, name-calling, and displays of anger when dealing w...

Re: The definition of 'jhana-lite' and 'jhana-heavy', and hopefully a better way to differentiate
The tragic non-irony of the situation is that Vism. Jhana believers are confirmation bias inclined, cherry picking passages, ignoring all the other sutta passages that contradict their cherry picked one so they can deceive themselves and imagine their view is correct. The Abhidhamma passages quoted ...

Hopefully we can use more accurate labels to differentiate the two interpretations of jhana.

Ok, re-reading your original response I think I know the problem. You didn't read the article I linked, you're just asking about the article title summary, which of course doesn't make any sense without explanation. Right underneath that title summary you're asking me about (in the first message of ...
