In this video, Ajahn Amaro explains that the two practices of samatha and vipassana are essential for developing a deep understanding of the mind and cultivating inner peace. Samatha develops concentration and calmness by focusing on a single object, while vipassana focuses on cultivating awareness of the present moment. Ajahn Amaro emphasizes that both practices are important for developing a clear and stable mind, and he highlights their transformative power for achieving greater wisdom and inner freedom.
