dpyad sgom
Basic Meaning
Analytical meditation is a technique involving critical analysis that focuses the mind on a specific contemplation, such as impermanence.
Simplified English Usage
"Furthermore, broadly speaking, if [we look at this] from the perspective of the use of the terms “analysis” and “resting,” meditations that involve critical investigation must be considered analytical meditation, and meditations during which we settle into the natural state and rest must be resting meditation." (Dakpo Tashi Namgyal, Moonbeams of Mahāmudrā, Elizabeth Callahan translation, 89)
Read It in the Scriptures
If you discriminate that phenomena are identityless
And meditate by discriminating them in this way,
Peace will not come about through any other cause.
This is the cause for the result of attaining nirvāṇa.
