SUMMARY:Shamatha: Meditation for Balanced Living
DESCRIPTION:During this day retreat\, co-organised by the CCN and Samadhi\, discover a range of methods for developing meditative quiescence\, or shamatha. \nShamatha is the practice of developing a single-pointed concentration to achieve a calm\, clear\, and focused mind. \nDuring this one-day retreat\, David Oromith will introduce us to both the explanation and the practice of this essential meditation technique. Only when mind agitations are healed and calmed can we really focus and see things as they are? \nThis practice nurtures a state of mind that is simultaneously supple\, profoundly relaxed\, and brilliantly alert\, offering us a much-needed respite from daily life. Through shamata practice\, we let go of physical and mental stress\, fostering mental and emotional balance. These practices\, however\, go beyond temporary relaxation and offer us the methods to cultivate a deep\, enduring sense of tranquility and clarity within ourselves. \nUltimately\, for those following the Buddhist path\, the Buddha strongly emphasised the importance of achieving shamata in order to achieve awakening. Shamatha is\, therefore\, an indispensable practice for those on this path. \nThese practices are accessible to anyone seeking inner transformation—whether Buddhist or not.
