Ajahn Brahmali offers a detailed and encouraging talk on samādhi, or meditative stillness, explaining its meaning, purpose, and crucial role on the Buddhist path. He addresses common questions and misconceptions surrounding deep meditation.
Samādhi refers to deep states of mental stillness and clarity. It is not mere relaxation or concentration, but a fully collected and peaceful mind, free of distraction and defilement.
Samādhi is essential for developing wisdom. It purifies the mind, making it more receptive to insight into impermanence, suffering, and non-self.
