To feel appropriate delight and enjoyment when participating in practice; a Buddhist term for the joy of engaging in beneficial activity, including ceremonies and other formal practice activities. It is derived from the Lotus Sutra, chapter 18 "The Merit of Appropriate Joy," which describes the zuiki of the bodhisattva upon hearing the Dharma or upon seeing others' good deeds or resultant happiness. In the sutra, the bodhisattva Maitreya says in agatha, "After the World-Honored One's passage into extinction, / If there is one who hears this scripture / And if he can rejoice appropriately [zuiki], / How much happiness shall he obtain?" 203n. 151 +
