Four Jhanas

Four Jhanas (four Stages Of The Buddha's Enlightenment)

1. First Meditation: initial and discursive thoughts; born of aloofness; rapturous and joyful

2. Second Meditation: devoid of initial and discursive thoughts; born of concentration; rapturous and joyful

3. Third Meditation: dwelling in equanimity, attentiveness and clear consciousness; joy

4. Fourth Meditation: neither joy nor anguish; purification by equanimity and mindfulness, without defilements; mind becoming fixed and immovable
