Glossarydpyad sgom

Tibetan Noun

dpyad sgom

analytical meditation
དཔྱད་སྒོམ་

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,
This is the cause for the result of attaining nirvāṇa.

Peace will not come about through any other cause.
