Foguang Dictionary of Buddhism (佛光大辭典) 　梵語su-manas。即心中適悅之相。為五受之一，稱為喜受；又為二十二根之一，稱為喜根。依俱舍論卷三載，初靜慮、第二靜慮及欲界等，其心悅之行相粗動，具有喜貪，稱之為‘喜’；第三靜慮之心悅，其行相安靜，已離喜貪，則稱為‘樂’。成唯識論卷五則謂，初靜慮與第二靜慮之近分及欲界，其心悅稱為‘喜’；而在初靜慮、第二靜慮之根本之心悅，既可稱為‘喜’，亦可稱為‘樂’。
　經典中所謂‘踴躍歡喜’等語，即表示聽聞佛陀說法時之狀態。大乘菩薩十地中之第一地，即是歡喜地。據世親十地經論卷二載，歡喜分為三種，有心喜、體喜、根喜。次舉九種：(一)敬歡喜，指恭敬三寶之喜。(二)愛歡喜，指樂觀真如法之喜。(三)慶歡喜，指自覺所悟殊勝之喜。(四)調柔歡喜，指遍益身心之喜。(五)踴躍歡喜，指遍益身心，滿足之喜。(六)堪受歡喜，指見己接近覺悟之喜。(七)不壞歡喜，指調伏、解說、論議時，心不動搖之喜。(八)不惱歡喜，指教化攝取眾生，慈悲調柔之喜。(九)不嗔歡喜，指眾生威儀不正亦能不怒之喜。﹝大毗婆沙論卷一三九、卷一四二、大乘阿毗達磨雜集論卷七、俱舍論光記卷三、成唯識論述記卷五本、百法問答鈔卷一、唯識論同學鈔卷五之四﹞（參閱‘歡喜’6898）
