Samadhi practice, as described by Rob Burbea, involves an immersive journey into profound stillness, concentration, and the unification of mind. It is the cultivation of deep meditative absorption where distractions dissipate, allowing the practitioner to experience a serene, luminous clarity. This practice not only stills the mind but also refines perception, aligning it with subtler aspects of reality and the inner landscape of dharma. In essence, samadhi fosters a deep intimacy with the present moment, unveiling layers of subtle joy and tranquility that lie beneath the surface of ordinary consciousness. Through disciplined focus and a gentle, sustained effort, samadhi opens the gateway to transformative insights and a profoundly quiet, centered state of being that supports and enhances the unfolding of wisdom and liberation.
