1
00:00:00,031 --> 00:00:03,838
implying that your method of meditation is both Samatha and Vipassana?

2
00:00:09,368 --> 00:00:10,490
I wasn't, I don't think.

3
00:00:11,652 --> 00:00:14,277
And technically speaking, it's not.

4
00:00:15,151 --> 00:00:23,340
But practically speaking, yeah, it's both samatha and vipassana because your mind becomes tranquil and you gain insight.

5
00:00:23,780 --> 00:00:32,849
But technically, no, it's just vipassana because there's not enough samatha to enter into a stable jhana.

6
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:35,752
The jhana that you enter into is momentary.

7
00:00:36,633 --> 00:00:40,197
It's a momentary jhana called lakhanupani jhana.

8
00:00:41,425 --> 00:00:46,571
meditation on the characteristics, impermanent suffering and non-self.

9
00:00:47,372 --> 00:00:48,573
So it occurs for a moment.

10
00:00:50,996 --> 00:00:57,664
But that's enough to tranquilize the mind, to suppress the five hindrances, and to allow you to see things clearly as they are.

11
00:00:58,144 --> 00:00:59,466
It's enough to become enlightened.

12
00:01:01,328 --> 00:01:05,232
But it's enough to tranquilize the mind, so it's also considered Samatha.

13
00:01:05,252 --> 00:01:08,956
It can be considered Samatha, just not technically speaking.

14
00:01:08,977 --> 00:01:11,179
Because Samatha meditation is

15
00:01:11,885 --> 00:01:17,676
the moment when you are focused on a concept and tranquilizing the mind.

16
00:01:18,557 --> 00:01:25,270
Vipassana meditation is the moment when you are focusing on the characteristics and seeing impermanent suffering or non-self.
