What are the four? Some persons experience bodily joy but not mental joy; some persons experience mental joy but not bodily joy; some persons experience both bodily and mental joy; and some persons experience neither bodily nor mental joy. What kind of person experiences bodily joy but not mental joy? This refers to an ordinary worldling who creates merit: regarding the four necessities of offerings—robes and bedding, food and drink, sleeping requisites, and medicine—they lack nothing, yet they cannot avoid the sufferings of the three evil destinies. This is called bodily joy without mental joy. What kind of person experiences mental joy but not bodily joy? This refers to an arhat who has not generated merit: among the four necessities of offerings, they cannot provide for themselves, but they avoid the sufferings of the three evil destinies. This is called mental joy without bodily joy. What kind of person experiences neither bodily nor mental joy? This refers to an ordinary worldling who does not generate merit, does not obtain the four necessities of offerings, and furthermore cannot avoid the sufferings of the three evil destinies. This is called neither bodily nor mental joy. What kind of person experiences both bodily and mental joy? This refers to an arhat who generates merit: they lack nothing among the four necessities of offerings, and furthermore avoid the sufferings of the three evil destinies. This is called both bodily and mental joy.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 69.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.64) - [Next: 69.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.66) - [Up: 69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.69.65) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.13.37) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.69.65) · Pramāṇa
