1 ā€“ The essence of Sammā Samādhi

samma samadhi kicking ass ļ»æā€¢ The elephant is sati ("mindful"). Always remembers what ā˜øDharma he needs to do, never forgets.
ā€¢ The rider/mahout is the wise gate keeper from AN 7.67 šŸ°, the frontier fortress.
ā€¢ elephant & rider = S&SšŸ˜šŸ’­ = sati & sampajāno = remembering & lucid-discerning
ā€¢ Together, they are resilient (khamo), can patiently endure any kind of horrifying trauma.
AN 5.139 : ā€œAnd how is a kingā€™s elephant resilient to ...fearful sights... horrible smells ... terrifying sounds ... physical pain ...? ... having gone into battle, he is pierced by a flight of arrows, two flights, three flights, four flights, five flights of arrows, but he doesnā€™t falter or faint, he steels himself and engages in the battle...
ā€¢ That resilience šŸŒ„šŸ˜šŸ›”ļøšŸ¹ā€ (khamo) is the defining characteristic of samādhi. Not "stillness". Pacification and serenity are important nutriments of samādhi, but they are not equivalent to it.
ā€¢ There are many 'samādhi suttas' in the EBT, but only one sutta titled "sammā samādhi" AN 5.113. Its central focus is Khamo/resilience, not "stillness".
ā€¢ Samādhi is not a trance, not a state where you can't think, can not act, and not form an intention.
ā€¢ Samādhi is dynamic. It can appear quiescent, but it's poised and alert, not in a frozen trance. When you're in samādhi, you may appear very still, but you ready.
ā€¢ Ready, on a moment's notice, to fight the āsavās and break through to nirvana.
ā€¢ Samādhi is the pinnacle šŸŒ„ of lucidity, of mental power. AN 5.113 : ā€œpossesssing five-of-these qualities, (a) monk [is] capable (of) dwelling in righteous-undistractable-lucidity, Which five? (a) monk is resilient to forms, sounds, odors, tastes, and tactile-objects, ...

šŸ›‡šŸ‘» The four Jhānas are not formless samādhi attainments

Not formless means you have physical body šŸ—øšŸƒā€ā™€ļø awareness, you can feel leg pain, you can hear sounds.
In 3rd and 4th jhāna, the sense of the body may subjectively be experienced as increasingly subtle, fading out.
But if you can no longer hear sounds, can not kinaesthetically locate where your hands, feet, head are,
have no sense of direction of up and down, then you've crossed over into formless samādhi šŸ‘».
You are no longer in the four jhānas.
ļ»æā€¢ rÅ«pa is not a-rÅ«pa, 4 jhānas operate in rÅ«pa: You think that would be obvious, but it's not a well understood point,
thanks to late Theravada propaganda redefining 4 jhānas as formless (see VRJšŸ‘»šŸ„¶ and BRJšŸ‘»šŸ„¶ ).
ļ»æā€¢ In the 4 jhānas, the body kāya is physical šŸ—øšŸƒā€ā™€ļø,
and feelings (vedana) by default originate and are experienced from the physical šŸ—øšŸƒā€ā™€ļø
ļ»æā€¢ If you can feel leg pain and mosquito bites in the 4 jhānas, then ...
ļ»æā€¢ hearing in jhānašŸ‘‚šŸŒ„ : You can hear sounds in the 4 jhānas. Which samādhis are silent?
ļ»æā€¢ If you can walk and do the jhānas in all 4 postures, then obviously you must have body awareness and can't be in a formless samādhi.
ļ»æā€¢ smd5šŸ‘» ākāsā-naƱcā-(a)yatanaį¹ƒ: if you study the terms in the space infinitude dimension formula for patigha saƱƱa and nanatta saƱƱa,
it's clear that it must mean in the four jhānas one is sensitive to the physical anatomical body.
