A joy that is produced by religious fulfillment， that which uplifts the whole person. （2） The first of the ten stages （十地） of bodhisattvas （pramudita^）， as explained in the Book of the Ten Stages in the Huayan jing. In this chapter it defines 'joy' as the "increase in conviction; the purity of faith and understanding; the fulfillment of compassion; the adornment of the body with compunction; the possession of the exuberance of fortitude; accumulating roots of goodness without rest; no attachment in the mind; not seeking profit， respect or name; not being attached to family and possessions; happily seeking the standpoint of total knowledge; separation from falsehood and deceit; acting according to one's words; not acting in the world with expectations." Thus this "joy" consists of genuine practice of all religious and moral virtues. （3） The experience of entering the Pure Land. （4） The name of a Pure Land where Aks!obhya Tatha^gata teaches 欢喜国.
