This is the fully edited recording with annotations of the talk given by Sis Sylvia Bay on 7 June 2020 'Facebook Live' at Buddhist Fellowship.
In this Dhamma talk, Sis Sylvia Bay shares the landscape of meditation, covering the problems we face in meditation; prior to meditation, the conditions which must be present through the cultivation of sila (virtues); what Buddha meant when he taught samādhi i.e., concentration (referring to jhāna); and what is the purpose of meditation (pañña). Two suttas were referred to during the talk, AN10.1 and AN.60. In the question and answer session, more is shared such as differences between secular mindfulness and sammā sati (Right Mindfulness), how do we not have views in our daily life, how does one reconcile jhāna and ānāpānasati, etc.
