Today as we commemorate the full moon 23 May 2024 we recall the idea of "Right View, Right Understanding and Right Mindfulness are very helpful for our daily life."

Our meditation practice today is “Calm meditation” Samatha-Pubbaṅgamaṃ. "Calm meditation leads to deep concentration (samādhi), mental ataraxia and ecstasies (jhāna). The meditator practicing this kind of meditation is called “the one who takes tranquillity as his vehicle” (samatha-yānika)."

​"The fundamental principle in calm meditation is: concentration (samādhi) or “focus of the mind” (cittassa okaggatā) on an object or concept for an extended period of time. This concentration can gradually lead to ecstasies (jhānas) which can serve as a basis for insight meditation (vipassanā), which was discovered by the Buddha who thus achieved his final Enlightenment."

As we calm our minds we become more self-aware and situate ourselves in a position to evaluate our attitudes and ideas.

Enjoy this video that discusses a form of Samatha meditation practice. Pay close attention, and internalize the words and actions.
