Way to Heaven - Samatha.

Samatha refers to that dimension of Buddhist spiritual cultivation (bhavana) concerned with the calming of the mind (citta) and its ‘formations’ (sankhara). When calm, the mind is capable of stillness (samadhi) and is put into a suitable frame for the arising of insight (vipassana) and thus wisdom (pañña). In Buddhism, calmness and stillness of mind are considered to be dependent on the presence of morality (Śīla) in a person’s life. With morality as the foundation, calming of the mind (samatha) and the arising of insight (vipassana) are summed up as the quintessence of Buddhist spiritual cultivation (bhavana)
