Dear Venerable,

yes those notes are full of quotes 🙂 . I think those Pali experts at the DSSF read it so easily that they don’t see how terse the bulletins read. NIna translated from the Thai but did look up the Pali as well - although she didn’t add additional explanation I think.

Looking at it now I do think some of the great arahats who attained as sukkha-vipassaka could later attain fruition when they wished.Thus there are the maggasiddha types who master jhana at the time of attaining the path due to great accumulations from the past. (The bulletin seems to not consider this possibility).

But I still think not necessarily all run of the mill sotapanna had this amazing ability. I will add more as time permits.
