MN 125 restoration project (a series of articles)
I'll continue to add parts to the series MN 125 restoration project in the next week or two,
but you'll want to at least read this one, it has a wonderful simile of the war elephant training in simulated war, as a simile for the monk developing the four jhanas.
MN 125 and MA 198 imperturbability developed by 4 jhanas is equivalent to khamo (resilience) of AN 5.113 and AN 5.139
