TOPIC: Jhana Meditation Practice [En]
You may have experienced states of expansion in your life. For example, standing on top of a mountain, feeling in harmony with a group, or relating with nature. Historical contemplatives, such as Buddhist practitioners, Christian mystics like Teresa of Avila ('Chambers'), and Sufi poets like Rumi, have described remarkably similar phenomenology across traditions. These aren't exotic experiences, but rather trainable skills. Descriptions of these life-altering moments are often very similar with what is known as the Jhanas (Pali) or Dhyanas (Sanskrit).
The Jhanas are systematic states of concentration, which are often easily accessible for advanced practitioners. They induce experiential qualities of well-being, happiness and equanimity. This capacity is important because it fundamentally changes the way we make sense of things. When contentment becomes accessible internally rather than being dependent on external conditions, we get the chance to reconsider the ways in which we go about our lives.
This evening will explore the practice, covering what jhanic states are and how to recognise and access them. We will explore the emotional components (rapture, happiness and equanimity) and establish foundation practices for continued exploration.
