Shamatha, Tibetan\u00a0 \u0f5e\u0f72\u0f0b\u0f42\u0f53\u0f66\u0f0b, shyin\u00e9–the calm abiding which steadies, composes, unifies and concentrates the mind.\u00a0 <\/span>
\nVipassan\u0101, Tibetan\u00a0 \u0f63\u0fb7\u0f42\u0f0b\u0f58\u0f50\u0f7c\u0f44\u0f0b, lhaktong—the insight, which enables one to see and understand conditioned phenomena based on the five aggregates and gain insight into the true nature of reality<\/span><\/p>\n

H.H. Sakya Trichen said, in a teaching on Parting From the Four Attachments, “The actual method of eliminating the afflictions is through the practice of insight wisdom. Before practicing insight wisdom, however, one must first develop a base of concentration meditation, also known as calm-abiding meditation. Altogether, the practice of the fourth line includes three stages: meditation on calm abiding, meditation on insight wisdom, and meditation on the combination of these two.”<\/span>
\n“Insight wisdom, or vipassana, itself consists of three steps. The first is to establish all outer objects or outer appearances as the mind and as created by the mind. The second is to establish all mental objects as illusory. The third is to establish all illusions as devoid of inherent nature.”\u00a0\u00a0 A Teaching on Sachen Kunga Nyingpo\u2019s Parting from the Four Attachments<\/em><\/span>
