It is said that the Buddha taught two distinct forms of meditation, namely mindfulness meditation and concentration meditation.
It is said that mindfulness meditation is the most direct way to reach your goal, while concentration practice can be a meandering journey with the potential to become a trap from which it is difficult to escape.
The Buddha’s teachings emphasize that meditation and morality are intertwined and should be seen as a single, unified practice.
He always stresses the importance of mindfulness in the journey of self-discovery, emphasizing that its purpose is to bring the mind into a state of Right Concentration — to help it find a place of stability and comfort where it can observe and understand the world around it.
