It's Page One Hundred and Eight!!! A very significant number in Buddhism. There are 108 ways to say 'craving' ....... and here's a few more from the swami....On this page, Sayadaw instructs on the development of equanimity. He says develop the fourth jhana again (oh that's easy) and then take it down to the third jhana and develop lovingkindness toward someone. When so doing, reflect on the insubstantiality of the first three jhanas being so close to affection, like and dislike, and joy. Then crank it up to the equanimity which is already part of the fourth jhana and with the person 'this good person is heir to their own karma.'
