Meditation Definition - Further Clarification
Hi,

I have just reviewed the definition of meditation and believe that it requires some further clarification. I have noted the comment on request for discussion prior to revision and have outlined below a refenced comment for review.

I refer to What the Buddha Taught' page 68 by Rev. Dr. Walpola Rahula, a Buddhist monk and scholar. This is a book readily available as well as a Dhamma text offered freely, and is widely regarded as the most accessible book to Buddism. In the book there is the description of two meditative techniques are broadly described, mental concentration (one pointedness of mind) leading to high mystical states (energy building and manipulation) and vipassana leading to insight. One pointedness of mind is regarded as leading to,'..the Sphere of Nothingness', or '.....the Sphere of Neither Perception Nor Non Perception' leading to 'happy living in this existence' or 'peaceful living'. This form of meditation was in existence during and prior to the time of the Buddha. Vipassana is regarded as the route to 'liberation of mind' and was discovered by the Budhha on his enlightenment or awakening.
