Problem dżhany w pierwotnym buddyzmie. Wprowadzenie
Jhana problem in the original Buddhism. Introduction

Summary/Abstract: According to the traditional, orthodox view on Buddhist meditation, the four jhānas are supposed to be a yogic type of meditation, and their development is not necessary to achieve liberation. In this article the author confronts this view with the general image of jhāna meditation contained in the Suttapitaka. As it turns out, these two views are totally irreconcilable, and we are dealing with ‘the jhāna controversy’. As the author argues, this controversy is too fundamental to be ignored, and must be explained by the reconstruction of the process that resulted in reinterpretation of jhāna practice.
