Anupada Sutta MN 111 *Excellent* Talk on Jhanas and the Path to Nibbana

Bhante Vimalaramsi reads and comments on the Majjhima Nikāya 111 Anupada sutta in which the Buddha describes Sāriputta's wisdom and how he observed the jhānas and their unique mental factors, one by one as they occurred. An very good concise talk on the nature of all of the Jhanas and the meditator's ultimate progress to Nibbana. These are the Tranquil Aware Jhānas that Bhante teaches that he believes are the actual Jhānas referenced in the earliest Sutta texts.
