Reciting and memorizing
I was born in a child-center study-tradition. Everybody around me taught me to understand first, don't recite and memorize.
Anti-memorizing tradition confuse me when I start learning Tipitaka because many words lost from my memory in reading. Reading and translation broke the sequence of Tipitaka.
The sequence follow to the Pali is important. Nowadays, people already forget it because we were not born in reciting tradition like Buddha was.
We learned Dhamma in our own way and Dhamma is hard, so we act like we are Einstein who can enlighten e=mc^2 by ourselves.
I compare Tipitaka to e=mc^2 because Tipitaka is perfect and complex like that.
When the time gone by, we, who neither memorize any Nikāya nor even a small book like KhuddakaPatha with understanding in before&after words, say "Tipitaka is not unity. Commentary is wrong. We should cut some part off. We know whole Tipitaka." While most Tipitaka Memorizers say "Tipitaka is unity by this way. Commentary view can keep Tipitaka's structure to be unity. No need to cut any part off Tipitaka if we memorize and understand before and after words enough because the conflicts will be decoded then we will know how Tipitaka and Commentary can be unity together.
Concentration meditation everyday
I've written "I compare Tipitaka to e=mc^2 because Tipitaka is perfect and complex like that", so you can't understand through insight meditation and tipitaka, if you have not strong enough wholesome-mind.
My meditation teacher began insight meditation 10+ years after me. YouHe already winwon the prize now, while I still be the concentration meditation beginner.
So if I can tell myself in the past, I will shout out "Do the concentration meditation everyday every breath, man!"
The best teacher is Tipitaka Memorizer who enlightened Nibbāna and attained Jhāna
Your teacher define how long you have to do the meditation, fast or slow. And you can die every moment before enlightenment, so open your mind to the Tipitaka Memorizer who enlightened Nibbāna and attained Jhāna. He can use his experience and knowledge to let you enlighten in 7 years.
I have many evidence from the Pali Canons to prove what I've written above.
