AN 6.78 - Joy and Happiness Translated by Bhikkhu Sujato Source: https://suttacentral.net/an6.78/en/sujato License: CC0-1.0 Numbered Discourses 6.78 8. Perfection Joy and Happiness “Mendicants, when a mendicant has six things they’re full of joy and happiness in this very life, and they have laid the groundwork for ending the defilements. What six? It’s when a mendicant enjoys the teaching, meditation, giving up, seclusion, kindness, and non-proliferation. When a mendicant possesses these six things they’re full of joy and happiness in this very life, and they have laid the groundwork for ending the defilements.”
