WHAT THE BUDDHA DISCOVERED - PART II The Buddhist Matrix with Ann Mathie

In Part II, we discuss the four stages of enlightenment and the path of calm concentration (śamatha meditation) and insight meditation (vipassana) in the contexts of the Suttas and the Visudhimagga. We will look at how these two meditation paths interpenetrate and support each other. We will also look at the experiences of advanced meditators on the path as well as how to overcome certain psychological hindrances.
