Theravada
"Samatha" ("calm") consists of meditation techniques in which the mind is focused on a single object, thought, or mantra, leading to "samadhi"'. In traditional Theravada, it is onsidered to be the base for "vipassanā" ("insght"). In the Theravada-tradition, as early as the Pali Nikayas, the four "jhānas" are regarded as a "samatha"-practice. The eight and final step of the Eightfold Path, Right Samadhi, is often defined as the four jhanas. In the Pali Nikayas, Jhānas are described as preceding the awakening insight of the Buddha, which turned him into an awakened being. Yet, the interpretation of "jhana" as single-pointed concentration and calm, may be a later re-interpretation, in which the original aim of "jhana" was lost.
