>I wondered what some of the most impressive things you had seen in young people were. Achieved 3rd jhana in concentration meditation.

  Congrats! Did you do that on your own or with a teacher? I find it curious that you mix jhana which is normally from Theravada/mindful based techniques and concentration which is normally from Ch'an/Mahayana techniques.

      I didn't understand your comment. What I meant is jhana is Pali, most Ch'an/Mahayana sources go back to sanskrit and thus spell it as dhyana. A Mahayana practitioner saying jhana is as odd as a Theravadin saying dhyana.
