In the last week there have been nearly 400 views of the GWV Ecstatic Buddhist video series
What is Ecstasy? What is: piiti (bliss), sukha (joy), and jhana (ecstasy); charismatic, charisms? Does joy fade away? What is Bliss? Only a mystic is going to understand a mystic, ecstasy is something you have to experience; charismatic, the charisms, Christian iconography that reveals auras and charkas. Only a mystic is going to understand the utterances of a mystic.
