Ajahn Dhammasiha talks about steps in the Buddha's 'Gradual Training' that lead on from fully established virtue to the develpment of samādhi.
- Sense Restraint / Indriya-saṃvara
- Contentment / Santuṭṭhi
- Maintaining full awareness of all bodily movements / Sampajāna-kārī
- Wakefulness / Jāgariyam-anuyutta
- Knowing the right measure when eating food / Bhojanasmiṃ Mattaññutā
These steps form the necessary foundation for the next stage in the gradual training: Abandoning the five hindrances to develop samādhi in solitude.
If we struggle to unify our mind in samādhi, we should give more attention to these five.
