The Samatha buddhist meditation techique has its roots in the Buddhist Theravadin tradition, and was introduced to England in 1962 by a Thai meditation teacher.
Samatha means calm. Samatha meditation is an effective but gentle way of training the mind to develop inner strength and freedom from turmoil. This produces a happier and more unified state of mind, leading on to clarity and understanding. This path from calm to insight (samatha to vipassana) was followed by the Buddha himself and is a central tradition of Buddhist meditation.
