The Quality of Ease

The second jhana quality is 'ease." This quality of ease is sometimes known as rapture, piti in Pali. We might think of it as physical ease. When ease is developed we're in a position to remain present, to function effectively, to thrive. The cultivation of ease is an effort made in the service of the heart. May all beings have ease of being. This talk is the third in a series of dharma talks offered by Peter Doobinin in November 2025 on "The Jhana Qualities."
