4 benefits of concentration

Four benefits of concentration:
1. Sublime happiness here and now through the (first) four jhanas.
2. Assured knowledge and true vision of things as they really are.
3. Awareness and clear comprehension of all transient phenomena.
4. Ceasing of all mental fermentation by absence of clinging. 
(from Digha Nikaya 33)
