Jhana has become popular, but often dumbed down. So then it helps to have an overview of how aspects of the path fits together.
Jhana means oneness and illumination, and is described as having five factors: applied and sustained application (vitakka, vicara), rapture or uplift (piti), pleasure (sukha) and unification of consciousness (ekaggata). And the coming together of all this factors is jhana.
And each person has the potential to realise these stages of meditation, they represent the very end and summit of the eight fold path, and is also the foundation for deep insights.
This teaching was given during a retreat at Venabu in October 2024:

From the opposite side of the planet, the retreat's instructor Bhante Sujato came by plane to Oslo, and he was transported straight to the mountains to rest and overcome jet lag, before the retreat at Venabu started.
