Concentration

Tsongkhapa explains the factors required for effective meditation in both sutra and tantra practice and how both practices are necessary for cognizing voidness (emptiness) with a joined state of shamatha and vipashyana.

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?

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