2025-04-08 Liberative Dependent Origination: Sukha and Samadhi 55:23
Jeanne Corrigal
Download Listen
The sukha of tranquility supports the mind in happiness and contentment, decreasing the mind's movement away from this moment, and thereby supporting the gathering of samadhi. The 5 jhanic factors also support the decrease in the hindrances and the deepening of samadhi. The pitfall of clinging to samadhi and also the role of samadhi in cultivating insight close the talk.
