I have heard that some teachers do not teach the Jhanas, others do. Yuttadhammo mentionsmentions the great debate about Jhanas. What is the controversy about? Whether they are useful towards realizing Nibbana/Nirvana? Is the debate relevant to all Buddhist traditions, only some, or are traditions split up in their views about Jhanas?
