Descriptions:
“Do you understand the principles now?
What is the principle for Samatha? Can anyone answer?
The principle for Samatha is to Incline the mind towards an object
that the mind is happy with and remain there continuously.
Peaceful or not peaceful, that does not matter.
We merely incline our mind towards an object that the mind is happy with.
But if we overfocus, not just inclining the mind towards the object,
the mind will not be happy. It will be stressed.
Sometimes when one overfocuses on the body, he/ she can get neckache.
There is no happiness there.
If there is no happiness, concentration will not occur.
Because happiness is the proximate cause for concentration.
Practice gradually. If we want to practice Samatha,
the mind will get rest and gain strength and fortitude.
Just notice what object of meditation makes us happy and be with that object.
Peaceful or not peaceful is not the main point.
Just stay with the object, let the mind mingle with that object,
soon the mind will be calm and stable,
and gain strength. Just practice.
Or when we want to practice Vipassana in order
to learn the truth that leads to detachment,
there are just a few principles:
be mindful and observe the body or the mind as they truly are
(with a mind that is stable and impartial.)
This principle applies to all methods of Vipassana.”
