Book Description
A brief commentary by Thrangu Rinpoche on Shamatha, or Calm Abiding meditation, which with vipassana or insight meditation, is considered fundamental to Buddhist practice. Shamata meditation is fundamental to Buddhist practice because before we can understand why we are living in conditioned existence, or samsara, with all its unhappiness and conflicts we must learn to deal with our thoughts and feelings. This process of learning to relax the mind so that it does not constantly go from one thought to the next is shamata meditation. This book is a teaching given by Thrangu Rinpoche on how to practice shamata and insight meditation. Since Rinpoche is from Kagyu lineage of Buddhism, he presents meditation from the Vajrayana perspective. This style of meditation is extremely effective and has produced thousands of enlightened individuals over the centuries.
