Meditation is a cornerstone of Buddhist practice, with techniques that trace back to the very teachings of the Buddha. The most foundational forms include Vipassanā, focused on insight and awareness of reality, and Samatha, centered on achieving calm and concentration. These practices lead to the development of mindfulness, deep concentration, and ultimately, the profound understanding that spawns from both. Samatha often involves concentration on a single object, such as the breath or a mantra, leading to Jhāna, a state of deep tranquility and unity with the subject of meditation. Vipassanā builds on this calm foundation, encouraging practitioners to observe the impermanent nature of all phenomena, fostering detachment and enlightenment. This film elegantly captures the quietude and concentration of practitioners, offering viewers a taste of the serenity and mental clarity achieved through these ancient techniques, which remain as relevant and transformative in modern times as they were over two millennia ago.
