The four joys (Skt. catvārimuditā; Tib. gawa shyi; Wyl. dga' ba bzhi) are four increasingly subtle experiences of bliss-emptiness connected with the advanced practices of tsa-lung; they transcend ordinary feelings of joy or pleasure. They are:
- joy (Skt. muditā; Wyl. dga' ba),
- supreme joy (Skt. pramuditā; Wyl. mchog dga'),
- special joy (Skt. viśeṣamuditā; Wyl. khyad dga') and
- innate joy (Skt. sahajamuditā; Wyl. lhan skyes kyi dga' ba).
