I searched for the word 'Jhana' on this site and read almost all about 50 odd questions on Jhana. I asked few questions myself.
It seems like one has to put extreme efforts to attain to Jhana.
This is part of one of the answers;
> ...They sit 12+ hours everyday for many months or years to get this light
> which can shine in their mind trough the dark night. It is shining
> breathe or meditation's object, not sunlight. Today, many of them have
> not been laying on a bed for 20 years...
This isn't practical for lay disciples, or at least for me outside of retreat. At this point Jhana feels like a wishful thinking.
Should one aim for Jhana in sitting?
If not Jhana, then, is there any other state to aim as an intermediary to Nirvana.
I do a daily 90 minute sitting and some chanting. Is it possible for me to attain Jhana?
What is recommended daily duration?
