Content / Description
Breaking everything down to the 5 khandhas (body/feelings/memory and association/thoughts/consciousness). Being in a kind of samadhi while asleep and the difference with one-pointedness. About the supernatural powers: why cultivate them? They don't lead to deliverance. Difference between trance and concentration. Jhana practice is difficult: staying 20 years on a circle! Using mental photographic abilities in the investigation. Body contemplation techniques: asking oneself questions: “what is the body? What does it mean 'flesh'?”. About the book VisudhiMagga: “Take it with caution”.
