The best teachings on meditation are found in the Pali texts, imo. They purport to be a reasonable recording of the Buddha's teachings. In this text, one of the repeated internal exercises is "subduing greed & distress" while practicing meditation. “Mindfulness of in-&-out breathing, when developed & pursued, is of great fruit, of great benefit. Mindfulness of in-&-out breathing, when developed & pursued, brings the four establishings of mindfulness to their culmination. The four establishings of mindfulness, when developed & pursued, bring the seven factors for awakening to their culmination. The seven factors for awakening, when developed & pursued, bring clear knowing & release to their culmination." -Ānāpānasati Sutta [0] [0] https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN118.html https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN118.html
