• Joy, bliss, delight. A joy that is produced by religious fulfillment, which uplifts the whole person. (Skt. pramoda, prasāda; Tib. dga' ba; rab tu dga' ba) [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Stephen Hodge, Yokoi]
• To be satisfied, delighted, pleased (Skt. tuṣṭa; Tib. mgu bar 'gyur ba). [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Stephen Hodge]
• The first of the ten bodhisattva grounds 十地, as explained in the Book of the Ten Stages in the Huayan jing (Skt. pramuditā). In this chapter it defines joy as the "increase in conviction; the purity of faith and understanding; the fulfillment of compassion; the adornment of the body with compunction; the possession of the exuberance of fortitude; accumulating wholesome roots without rest; no attachment in the mind; not seeking profit, respect or name; not being attached to family and possessions; happily seeking the standpoint of total knowledge; separation from falsehood and deceit; acting according to one's words; not acting in the world with expectations." Thus this "joy" consists of genuine practice of all religious and moral virtues. [resp. Charles Muller]
