General discussion of issues related to Theravada Meditation, e.g. meditation postures, developing a regular sitting practice, skillfully relating to difficulties and hindrances, etc.

I guess without a teacher one can still find meditation manuals or ask the specifics about techniques here at DW, but before all that I am wondering about the basics of meditation. Thanks all in advance.
Highly recommend all of B. Thanissaro's writings, audio talks, etc:

towards the end of this article, a number of suttas cited for lay people doing jhana:
