jhṅna, both in the four-level and the five-level analysis. The organization of the Buddhaâs account of his own practice here seems to indicate how he would instruct those whose experience of concentration begins, not with an expanded awareness of the body, but with visions of light and forms. The visions are used as exercises for getting the focus of the mind properly balanced; then attention is turned to the body as experienced in the jhṅnas (see the similes for the jhṅnas given in DN 2, MN 119, and AN 5:28). The insight into fabrication gained by focusing on the body then provides a basis for liberating insight. See also: MN 31; SN 46:53; SN 51:20; AN 3:103; AN 3:131; AN 8:70 - --> - - - -
