How Buddha achieved Enlightenment: Meditation Explained |TSB|

Описание: Welcome to The School of Buddha! In this first episode of our podcast series The Path of Meditation – Lessons from the Buddha, we explore the true essence of meditation.

Meditation is not just about relaxation—it is a profound practice of self-inquiry, wisdom, and liberation. We’ll dive into:
✅ The meaning of meditation in Buddhism
✅ The two key forms of Buddhist meditation: Samatha (Calm-Abiding) & Vipassana (Insight Meditation)
✅ How the Buddha practiced meditation, learning from Āḷāra Kālāma and Uddaka Rāmaputta
✅ The significance of The Middle Way and his final meditation under the Bodhi Tree
✅ Why meditate?—The spiritual and modern benefits of mindfulness
✅ Preparing for our first guided meditation session in the next episode

🎧 Stay tuned for Episode 2, where we begin with a 10-minute Guided Awareness Meditation to start your journey into mindfulness!
