Did anyone here attain jhana?

[Spiny O'Norman]

Thanks again for your insights regarding the practice, especially the reminder about the need for the five balas in getting past the hindrances. Got to cultivate those...

I've found the "letting go" approach very helpful in dealing with the hindrances.

Here are two talks by Pa Auk students who have attained Jhana. They also talk about their previous lives. It starts after the chanting.
