The jhanas ⏳

The jhanas are profound states of concentration in which the mind becomes fully obsorbed in its object. The Buddha enumerates four jhanas, named simply after their numerical position in the series, each being more refined than its predecessor. These include:

• The first jhana
• The second jhana
• The third jhana
• The fourth jhana
