    Attainment of Jhānas
    Consistent $\text{Samādhi}$ practice leads to the development of the $\text{Jhānas}$ (meditative absorptions). These states are characterized by the sequential suppression of the Five Hindrances ($\text{Nīvaraṇa}$ Nivarana). The Fourth $\text{Jhāna}$ is typically characterized by perfect equanimity and the cessation of the subjective feeling of temperature differentiation.
