| Abstract | This paper explores the meaning and significance of concentration (samādhi) as explained in the Samādhibhāvanā sutta and the related works of Myanmar Theravāda Buddhist meditation teachers. Concentration in Buddhism means a state of mind which has one-pointedness as its characteristic. It can be divided into various types according to the different components and levels. In the Samādhibhāvanā sutta, there can be found four types of cultivation methods and four types of benefi ts that can lead from mundane concentration to supra-mundane concentration. The practice of concentration is to cultivate samatha and vipassanā in order to gain benefi ts of meditation, such as dwelling with happiness here and now, and ultimately achieving enlightenment. Therefore, this research work explores the correct way of practicing concentration and insight meditation as taught by Ledi Sayadaw, Mahasi Sayadaw and Pa Auk Sayadaw in Myanmar. In this research, the author compares different methods of practice described by these three prominent meditation masters. Their explanations of concentration as an aspect of meditation practice are slightly different from each other. Ledi Sayadaw taught to practice momentary concentration or access concentration depending on the situation. Mahasi Sayadaw focused on insight meditation with momentary concentration. However, Pa Auk Sayadaw strongly emphasizes the development of access concentration before proceeding to vipassanā. |
