A proposed method of meditation; samatha and vipassanā
This work provides an analytical study of the two
interrelated processes of Buddhist meditation, samatha and
vipassanā. Despite their frequent appearance in the Buddhist
scriptures, most scholars have not settled the exact role of
samatha and vipassanā in the path of enlightenment. They are
still divided over the question as to how samatha and vipassanā
are related. This paper aims to determine the answer of this
question on the condition that the cankers are eradicated. The
determination will be performed through the investigation of the
main characteristic, functions and benefits of samatha and
vipassanā and then their precise role of the destruction of
cankers. Please refer to
seminars page to download an abstract. |
