- Ajahn Jayasaro (Shaun Michael Chiverton) was born on the Isle of Wight, England in 1958. He joined Ajahn Sumedho’s community for the Rains Retreat as an anagarika in 1978 and in November he left for Wat Pa Pong in Northeast Thailand where he ordained as a novice in the following year. In 1978 he became a disciple of Ajahn Chah, one of Thailand’s most renowned Buddhist monks and meditation masters, at Wat Pa Pong forest monastery in Northeast Thailand. He took full ordination, with Ajahn Chah as his preceptor, in 1980.
After his initial five year monastic training Ajahn Jayasaro went on extended solitary retreat before taking on teaching and administrative duties. Over the next several years he alternated between periods of retreat and service to his monastic lineage. During this time he was entrusted by the elders of his order with writing the official biography of his teacher, Ajahn Chah. In 1997 he assumed the position of abbot of Wat Pa Nanachat, the international monastery of Ajahn Chah’s lineage, where he remained until the end of 2002.
Since early 2003 Ajahn Jayasaro has been living in a hermitage at the foot of Khao Yai Mountain National Park. The Dhamma teachings and meditation retreats he gives at regular intervals at a nearby retreat centre offer inspiration to both lay Buddhists and monastics. He is also a key figure in the movement to integrate Buddhist developmental principles into the Thai education system. Many of his Dhamma talks are broadcast on radio and television.
Ajahn Jayasaro has written many books on Buddhist themes in the Thai language, a number of which have been translated into other languages, including Chinese, French, Italian and Portuguese. His latest English work, ‘without and within’ is a general introduction to the Theravada Buddhist tradition. In 2011 Ajahn Jayasaro was granted an honorary doctorate in Buddhist pedagogy by Mahachulalongkorn Rajavidyalaya University.

Sharing from one who has experience awakening.
Samadhi in vipasanna is short and once it reach samadhi it will continue to go forward when the 5 faculty are balance(faith, effort, mindful, concentration, wisdom)
If this 5 faculty is not parallel or balance it will not push forward to ENLIGHTMENT.
It must not be too strong or too weak. All 5 power or faculty must be parallel or balance then ENLIGHTMENT can be accomplish. Suppose in vipasanna after you reach samadhi and your 5 power is not parallel/balance, you will automatically fall back again to breathing contemplation so as to readjust itself until it is balance. Then ATTAINMENT is accomplish.
So the above explain about vipasanna, samadhi and the relation to the 5 power once is parallel/balance one enter NIBANNA.
Now let's come to SAMATHA 4th jhanna. Why samatha strong 4th jhanna still cannot become ENLIGHTED?
If you refer to above vipasanna explaination carefully you can see that i explain the samadhi in vipasanna and the 5 power relationship.
In samatha 4th jhana is very strong and that too strong jhanna in samatha are the cause of not able to reach ENLIGHTMENT. So the important point here to understand is the different of samadhi in vipasanna and jhanna in samatha is :
Samadhi in vipassana when it is too weak it will readjust itself until it is parallel/balance because it has WISDOM (can see aniccha, dukkha, anatha) So when it can self adjust the 5 power it can go to ENLIGHTMENT.
In samatha the jhanna is too strong and it do not have WISDOM (cannot see aniccha, dukkha, anatha)
So it cannot adjust itself
So the practice cannot reach ENLIGHTMENT. That is the reason one with too strong jhanna has to train the mind to vipasanna again to gain WISDOM so as to see aniccha, dukkha, anatha and to readjust the 5 faculty before one can become ENLIGHTED. ENLIGHTMENT is WONDERFUL but it take lots of energy and determination and WISDOM to accomplish.
Vipasanna samadhi and samatha jhanna and their differences and about ENLIGHTMENT.
May all come to attainment in this life.
BUDDHAM SARANAM GACCHAMI.
No one accomplishes Nibanna ...
Shadu Shadu Shadu
Abandonment in deep despair and magga phala. Easy life leads to disorientation.
