'''Meditation''' translates several Sanskrit and Tibetan terms, including ''bhavana'' (Skt.; Tib. [[སྒོམ་]], ''gom''; [[Wyl.]] ''sgom''), ''[[samadhi]]'' (Skt.; Tib. [[ཏིང་ངེ་འཛིན་]], ''ting nge dzin''; Wyl. ''ting nge 'dzin'') and ''[[dhyana]]'' (Skt.; Tib. [[བསམ་གཏན་]], ''samten''; Wyl. ''bsam gtan''). It is one of the [[three higher trainings]].

==Types of Meditation==
*His Holiness the [[Dalai Lama]] says that, broadly speaking, there are two approaches in meditation:<br>

:1. Meditations on [[loving kindness]], [[compassion]], [[bodhichitta]] and so on. In these the practitioner is trying to cultivate or generate a state of mind, or transform the mind ''into'' these qualities. The meditation and the object of meditation are the '''same'''.<br>

:2. Meditations on [[impermanence]], [[selflessness]] and [[emptiness]]. The meditating mind already has the nature of impermanence, selflessness and so on, so meditation here entails focussing the mind on these truths and taking them as the object, and then cultivating '''familiarity''' with them.

*Buddhist meditation is often divided into the practices of 
#''[[shamatha]]'' or 'calm abiding' and 
#''[[vipashyana]]'' or 'clear seeing.'

*There is also the division into 
#[[analytical meditation]] (Tib. [[དཔྱད་སྒོམ་]], ''chegom''; Wyl. ''dpyad sgom'') and 
#[[settling meditation]] (Tib. [[འཇོག་སྒོམ་]], ''jokgom''; Wyl. ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>jog sgom'').
