The opinions of teachers regarding the role of samadhi (concentration) in insight meditation can vary greatly.
Some emphasize the importance of concentration while others believe that insight is gained through mindfulness alone and do not place any particular emphasis on concentration.
It can be challenging to make sense of all these different ideas about what constitutes proper concentration and how it should be incorporated into one’s practice.
This confusion can lead students to wonder how much or what type of samadhi they should cultivate, as well as how to incorporate it into their meditation.
