In this excellent talk to a group of meditators Bhante explains what the true meaning of a Jhana is - a level of understanding-not absorption - And he discusses toward the end of the talk what the meditator will experience if they follow the Jhanas all the way through to Nibbana. He explains a different interpretation of the Satipatthana Sutta. He shows you how he re-discovered what the Buddha taught. He addresses also, "What is Craving?" Its an actual thing. There is a tension and tightness in the mind that arises - like flame from something on fire. When there is no craving there is Ni (No) bana (fire)!
He explains how he set aside the commentaries like the Vissudhi Magga and went back to the original Suttas, as in the Majjhima Nikaya. He asks that you please, please add the missing step back into the meditation you are doing! That is the Relax Step. In the Suttas - the Satipatthana Sutta - the word is "Tranquilize".
