Chenrezig is the representation of compassion. Through Chenrezig practice one develops a deeper compassion for the suffering of others and purifies ones tendency for selfish motivation. The meditation itself involves chanting a liturgy while mentally performing a series of visualizations and finishing with mantras and an insight visualization.

Shamatha Meditation (Calm Abiding) ~ Sitting Meditation

Shamatha Meditation Held During Chenrezig Sadhana

Shamatha means calm-abiding in Tibetan. Shamatha meditation is the process of calming the mind to allow deeper awareness to come forward. This meditation involves holding the correct physical posture while focusing the mind on the sensation of breathing. Variations of this meditation are done in almost every other Buddhist tradition.

Instruction in Shamatha is available before or during any meditation session.
