Here is an excerpt of a teaching from our archives from His Holiness Penor Rinpoche, where he talks about the practice of shamatha from London, 8 July 1995. Shamatha [Skt.] or shyiné [Tib.] can also be translated as ‘peacefully remaining’ or' tranquillity meditation’.
Why is this practice of shiné or shamatha so important for us? —So that we can become the master of our own mind.
—H.H. Penor Rinpoche
