In the actual OP where this topic originated on Dhammawheel before being hijacked here, the question was to examine examples in suttanta that would support the claims of ‘contemporary Dhamma discourse’ with reference to samatha-jhāna and vipassanā-jhāna.

There is support to be found in the dynamic of samatha and vipassanā, as found in the Nikāyas to be brought together in a single contemplative work.
