Five stages of Rupajjhana
Five stages of Rupajjhana
What is meant by Rupajjhana being divided into five or four stages? Curious about the 5 fold division in particular.

Hi, is this what you mean? www.buddha-vacana.org/formulae/4jhana.html
I've not heard of there being five rūpajhānas.

Re: Five stages of Rupajjhana
yes i mean the four lower jhanas, here is an excerpt from Mahasi Sayadaw's manual of Insight;
Absorbtion concentration
Absorbtion concentration is quite unshakable, as if the mind has been absorbed into the meditation object. There are a total of eight or nine absorbtions: the material absorbtions (rupajjhana), divided into four or five stages, and the immaterial absorbtions (arupajjhana), divided into four stages.
Re: Five stages of Rupajjhana
The Abhidhamma (or the commentaries, I'm not sure where) divides the second (I think) rupa jhana into two, giving five altogether.

There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.
