What is jhana and samadhi | EN | Bhante Sujato

Jhana has become popular, but often dumbed down. So then it helps to have an overview of how aspects of the path fits together.  Jhana means oneness and illumination, and is described as having five factors: applied and sustained application (vitakka, vicara), rapture or uplift (piti), pleasure (sukha) and unification of consciousness (ekaggata). And the coming together of all this factors is jhana.  And each person has the potential to realise these stages of meditation, they represent the very end and summit of the eight fold path, and is also the foundation for deep insights.
