jhana's

new to this group and internet in general...

so I apologize.

I've participated in a lot of athletics, in sport psychology the
term "zone" is often used to describe the ideal mental state to
pursue for peak mental clarity during competitive performance. In
stuyding Pali and non-athletic meditation I'm curious why the
term "zone" has never been used as a translation for Jhana?

Namaste,

Aaron
