References – MN 113: A True Person 
“What is the relationship between atammayatā (non-fashioning) and jhāna? Are jhānas experienced regularly only those who have experienced insight? Is abiding in atammayatā the same as abiding in Nibbāna?” Answered by Ajahn Pasanno. [Non-identification] [Jhāna] [Insight meditation] [Nibbāna] // [Emptiness]
Sutta: MN 113.21: Inclining the mind towards atammayatā.

“I love clues that help identify that some experience is or is not what I thought it is. For example, Ajahn Ñāniko’s point that just a blank purely absorbed state is not jhāna, (a wrong conclusion anybody any get to) and that instead it should be more ‘broad-based’ and mettā-bhāvanā is very useful for that. This sort of ‘TEST’ for the labels we may jump to apply to our experience is very useful insight—‘cool’ if I may say. Are there more such ‘tests?’ P.S. This is to help prevent my mind from becoming too proud, or thinking I have attained some state when not.” Answered by Ajahn Pasanno. [Jhāna] [Meditation/Results] // [Conceit] [Suffering] [Contentment]
Sutta: MN 113.21: “For however one conceives it, it is always other than that.”

“In one of the first readings [Session 2, question 2 and Session 3, question 3] you mentioned momentary Nibbāna. How do jhānas relate to momentary Nibbāna?” Answered by Ajahn Amaro and Ajahn Pasanno. [Nibbāna] [Jhāna] // [Clinging] [Ajahn Chah] [Liberation]
Sutta: MN 113.21: Don’t be content with jhāna.
