The Distinction between Concentration and Insight

In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses the difference between concentration and insight meditation practices. Concentration focuses on building a strong focus and merging with a specific object, while insight meditation involves becoming aware of the nature of self and reality. Concentration meditation can help create a foundation for insight practice, which involves deconstructing the illusion of a stable self and recognizing the impermanence of all sensations. The order in which these practices are pursued may vary for each individual.
