The second question in this section is What is the difference between access concentration and absorption concentration? Sayadaw explains that although access concentration is deep, the bhavangas can be there (thought formations, see previous note)
Also, in access concentration, one may believe to have reached nirvana when one has reached, well, nothing.
In the deepest knowing, Sayadaw points out, there is actually the thought formation of knowing that Nirvana has been reached.
