The 4th Factor Of Awakening - Joy & Rapture

As our practice deepens, we are bound to experience what in the Pali language is called "piti"- otherwise known as joy, happiness, delight, and even rapture. It’s an essential aspect of our journey, and we absolutely want to cultivate and nurture this sense of pleasure, and joy. Yet, it’s also vital that we learn how to skillfully work with it as it arises, so as to not become attached to it, which can take us in the wrong direction.

Excellent talk! There are so few meditations on joy, for some reason. Thank you so much!

Second time: I am struck by how wide and varied the dimensions of piti are, relative to my initial understanding of “joy” — fulfillment, alignment, truth, etc. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great talk. Thank you. 🙏

This was great! So grateful for this gift of wisdom. I am better for listening to you this morning.🙏🏼❤️

Utterly Beautiful 🙏

Just what I needed! I will spread more dhana joy and focus more on letting go and making sure I feel connected (or noticing when I’m feeling disconnected)! Namaste 🙏
