Asleep

Clarence maybe asleep.

So my turn to troll. What do you make of this?

To put it directly, we may say there are only 4 steps.

:1 to run after
:2 to watch and observe
:3 to build up a mental image or "Nimitta"
:4 to contemplate on Jhana.

However 1 more step may be added, that is, when step 3 has been implemented; build a mental image called 'Uggaha-nimitta' (visualised image) and exercise control over 'nimitta' in such a way that it becomes 'Patibhaga-nimitta' (conceptualised image) and then contemplate on the emerging Jhana.

Meditate, and you shall find Dhamma - the path to Nivanna - Anapanasatibhavana! And who looks for long words in English ? 😀😀
