  • He's actually describing 2-4, not 1-3

  • Suka in sense of well being... You feel like warm and healthy...no physical pain or discomfort at all. (I have experienced the fist Jhana).

    Piti is joy or simple happy.. not exited.!

  • Leigh is correct in the characterization of the jhana 1-3. He separates the tranquility practice with the insight practice however, they can be blended and are described as such in the Suttas. Leigh refers to Jhana as absorption however Jhana practice may be developmental depending on how the meditator applies the 7 Factors. Another way to think about it is to recognize hindrances as they arise. This balances mindfulness and with concentration. Bingo. You enter a developmental Jana. s.j.
