How are all
the Buddhist Mental Training 3-fold?
The Blessed Buddha
often emphasized:
Friends, without having mastered the basics of good morality
(sīla),
it is impossible to master the domain of concentration (samādhi)!
Without having mastered the domain of concentration, it is not
possible to master the sphere of understanding
(paññā)
!!! AN 5:22
Develop your concentration, friends, by regular & daily meditation!
Since the one who has concentration understands things according
to reality as they really are & become. And what are these things?
The
momentary arising and passing away of all forms, of all feelings,
any perception,
all mental constructions, & of all consciousness. SN 22:5
1:Morality
(Sīla)
=> 2:Concentration
(Samādhi)
=> 3:Understanding
(Paññā)!
