The jhanas — absorbed states

The jhanas are states of profound absorption and peace available through meditation, in which the mind becomes so stable and unified that suffering temporarily dissolves. Experiencing them, even briefly, teaches the mind that another way of being is possible—knowledge that can quiet desperation and open the door to lasting change.
