- summarybot 2mo agoYes, classically the Point of meditation is to enter into absorption via gathering-poise [not a common term but one I have begun using as of late as a sense-for-sense translation of samadhi]. Unfabricated reality is not accessible through doing things.
- jcgl 2mo agoAs far as I understand, there are numerous different kinds of meditation, even within just single traditions. Different kinds with different goals and techniques. I’d be careful about talking about “the point” of meditation.
