Unpacking Jhana in Theravadan Buddhism

[Jhanananda]

I was not sure who you were quoting, so I searched for the phrase, and found it was I, so I fixed your quote to reflect that.

You mean that you'd made entry to the stream, or attained arahantship? I ask in order to educate myself regarding a project I might begin  after the other projects are finished.

In answer to your question, arahantship.

That was worth noting. Thank you. For anyone reading this, Jhananda said that reviewing the sutta's and having the ability to understand their true meaning and re-translate them was one of the greatest contributing factors to him realizing he'd attained arahantship.

I had a number of fellow contemplatives who helped me at key points; however, I do not think any of them, but perhaps Francis, had figured out the whole package.  So, as I can see the end of the road coming up fast, it helps to know a few people have made considerable progress.  It was reading the suttas, and re-translating them that helped me the most to realize I had made it.
