Transcribe →Donald Rothberg: Talk and Discussion: Developing Concentration (Samadhi) 2: Reviewing the Foundations and Pointing to How Our Practice of Developing Samadhi Deepens
May 1300:59:09Tap to summarize(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We begin with a review of the nature of samadhi and of samatha practice, in which we develop greater samadhi. Samadhi is understood as a natural quality (including with other species) that we may know through times in which we are deeply immersed and absorbed in an activity, such as being with another, art, music, or sports. Samatha is one of the two main forms of meditation taught by the Buddha, along with insight practice. We also give an overview of how samatha practice deepens, going into some depth on the model of the five jhanic factors, and pointing to the experiences of the first two jhanas (as taught by the Buddha). The talk is followed by discussion.

Transcribe →Donald Rothberg: Guided Meditation on Developing Concentration (Samadhi)
May 600:47:28Tap to summarize(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Full instructions are given at the beginning for cultivating concentration (samadhi), including attention to posture, a variety of possible areas of focus (with most attention given to the breath, including on the "three-part breath"), and balancing "not too tight" and "not too loose." Then we practice mostly in silence, with a brief discussion period at the end of the sitting.
