Three Aspects Of Concentration & The Simile Of The Goldsmith

Shaila Catherine shares the "Discourse of the Buddha" (AN 3:101), where he employs the simile of a goldsmith to teach skillful ways to deepen concentration. From time to time, meditators adjust the quality of attention to periodically increase calmness, intensify energetic, effort, or observe with a relaxed and non-interfering quality of mindfulness. This insightful talk offers practical instruction for learning the skills to strengthen concentration.

Very interesting. Thank you for the education and guidance on the differences. I liked the simile.

Very helpful.

Excellent. Starts with a short discourse of the Buddha, then leads into guided practice of the elements of concentration mentioned in that discourse. Lovely
