I vote against merging this article into Kammatthana, just on the basis that someone may be specfically looking up kasina, and this seems like a good concise discussion. As long as it links to Kammatthana and vice-versa, why merge? Ultraviolet777 15:16, 31 March 2006

who practices this? how does one practice this? where did this originate? in what scriptures do we find these teachings? are these all the same? what translators or sources is this coming from? how is this related to shamatha or vipassana or anything else? do people really do this, and if so, who are they? how do they do this? why do they do this?
also, is this equivalent to thinking and analysis, or are we experiencing various things, like metta when we meditate on compassion? makeswell 03:10, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
As someone who is not familiar with this topic, let me introduce the idea that this article makes absolutely no sense. There is a lot of jargon being thrown around, but not much of substance, and even less of fact. Maybe it's a cultural thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.122.28.208 ( talk) 09:44, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
I removed the first sentence and reworded the second of the following paragraph found in the lede of this page,
The kammatthana collectively are not suitable for all persons at all times. Each kammatthana can be prescribed, especially by a teacher ( kalyāṇa-mitta), to a given person at a given time, depending on the person's temperament and state of mind.
My reasons for removing the first sentence were that it largely rephrases the second sentence and also that it is potentially POV and is not cited or phrased in such a way as to indicate who has stated this opinion or why this is so. makeswell ( talk) 03:37, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
