The gradual training | EN | Venerable Canda | Venabu 2025

If meditation is your only method, then the result can be limited and meditation becomes difficult. Developing our mind is an integrated whole, focusing both on virtue, meditation and wisdom. It is the calm of meditation that can abandon craving. And when insights are developed, we understand and we can abandon delusion − we can see the truth.

One way of looking at the training is called the gradual training, which is a gradual refinement of wholesome happiness and freedom. It starts with the arising of an enlightened being which can teach right view, then we adjust our lives with right intentions and simplicity, we develop virtue conduct, we restrain our senses and develop contentment and mindfulness. And then, when the foundation is strong, then we can do our meditation, get into deep meditation and develop wisdom about our own nature.
