I'm looking for an outline of the practices going from beginner to jhana or streamentry

score:1

If you want an authentic guide on early Buddhist meditation (Ajahn Brahm and Pa Auk teach meditation practices that are completely different, based on Vism. and late Buddhist redefinitions of jhana), here are two great books:

Thanissaro Bhikkhu's books and articles on dhammatalks.org, especially "With Each and Every Breath" Bhante Henepola Gunaratana Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English, 2010 CE (from wisdom pub). The book is more broadly based on EBT Jhāna. 16 APS is one of the methods he discusses, but does not focus in detail on the 16 steps.
