Summary
Buddhist meditation is defined across three dimensions: the Pāli Canon, applied literature, and scientific research. The analysis reveals that these fields, despite their different terms and methods, converge on the idea that meditation trains the mind to be aware of its processes and reduces resistance to feelings. This comparative approach highlights both commonalities and differences in understanding Buddhist meditation.

Abstract
The article examines the principles of Buddhist meditation through a systematic analysis of three dimensions: the Pāli Canon, applied literature, and scientific research. By conducting a comparative analysis within each field, the study identifies common patterns, differences, and complementary aspects, outlining a landscape for understanding Buddhist meditation from distinct yet interconnected perspectives. The analysis suggests that all three dimensions, despite terminological and methodological differences, agree on defining meditation as training the mind’s capacity to be aware of its own processes and to weaken resistance to the feeling tones of experience.
