''Pīti'' in Pali (Sanskrit: ''Prīti'') is a mental factor (Pali:''cetasika'', Sanskrit: ''chaitasika'') associated with the concentrative absorption (Sanskrit: ''dhyana''; Pali: ''jhana'') of Buddhist meditation. Piti is a very specific joy associated with a state of deep tranquillity. It is often translated with the English words "joy" or "rapture" and is distinguished from the longer-lasting meditative "pleasure" or "happiness" (Pali, Sanskrit: ''sukha'') that arises along with ''pīti''. ==Absorption factor== In Buddhist meditation, the development of concentrative absorption (Sanskrit: ''dhyāna''; Pali: ''jhāna'') is canonically described in terms of the following five factors: * applied thought (''vitakka'') * sustained thought (''vicāra'') * joy/rapture/happiness (''pīti'') * happiness/pleasure/bliss (''sukha'') * equanimity (''upekkhā'')〔See, for instance, ''Samādhaga Sutta'' (a/k/a, ''Pañcagikasamādhi Sutta'', AN 5.28) ((Thanissaro, 1997). )〕 Both ''pīti'' and ''sukha'' are born of bodily seclusion and mental quietude. The 5th century CE ''Visuddhimagga'' distinguishes between ''pīti'' and ''sukha'' in the following experiential manner: :And wherever the two are associated, happiness (Ñāamoli's translation of ''pīti'' ) is the contentedness at getting a desirable object, and bliss () is the actual experiencing of it when got. Where there is happiness () there is bliss (pleasure) (); but where there is bliss () there is not necessarily happiness (). Happiness is included in the formations aggregate; bliss is included in the feeling aggregate. If a man exhausted in a desert saw or heard about a pond on the edge of a wood, he would have happiness; if he went into the wood's shade and used the water, he would have bliss....〔Vsm. IV, 100 (Ñāamoli, 1999, p. 142). Similarly, see also the Abhidhamma's commentary, ''Atthasalini'' ((Bodhi, 1980). )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pīti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
