' The Experience of 'Jhana ' and ' Dhyana '...

This experience is jhāna, (Sanskrit: dhyāna)... It’s a word, that just means “meditation”, or “absorption,”, and it arises, when the five hindrances of ill will,, sense desire,, restlessness, and anxiety,, sloth and torpor,, and doubt have been dispelled... The turbulent emotions, and random thoughts, that normally fill our consciousness, are gone,, and we find, that the mind is naturally joyful and focused. ........................................................................................................................................ There are four levels of jhāna,, each one deeper,, quieter,, and more fulfilling, than the one preceding it... Collectively, they constitute sammā samādhi,, or right concentration, in the eightfold path............................. from wildmind.org
