Concentration

With far-reaching concentration, we’re able to stay perfectly focused while helping others and in all meditations for reaching enlightenment.

We need to exert effort to rid ourselves of all obstacles to concentration, such as flightiness and mental dullness, during whatever meditations we may be doing.

Do a Buddha’s extraphysical and extrasensory powers make any sense or are they just interesting stories?

Shamatha (a stilled and settled state of mind) and vipashyana (an exceptionally perceptive state of mind) are levels of meditative concentration taught in all forms of Buddhism.
