There are 3 purposes for Samadhi-Bhavana or MEDITATION :<\/p>\n

1st
\nto gain direct experience (Panna) of each Element (Dhatu) as one & the same and limitless & timeless through Absorptions on the 4 Brahmavihara, on the 4 Rupa and on the 4 Arupa Jahnas, with the 5th one as ‘Cessation’;<\/p>\n

2nd
\nto overcome the 3 Tanha linked to sensations & thoughts, doubts & fears, conceit & consciousness, through their right evaluation according to the Dhamma (Vipassana), taking to the relevant disenchantment & dispassion for them because seen as changing or as conditioned (Dukkha);<\/p>\n

3rd
\nanother valid reason, that probably not many can fully understand, is visiting Thusita in Samadhi, in order to make it become next destination after death (Bodhisattvas or Sammasambuddha Path).<\/p>\n

Any other Element or Plane of existence should be considered irrilevant for the achievemt of the final goal or even a danger, since taking time & effort away from what it is really needed for ending the suffering of Samsara forever. \ud83d\ude4f\u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\ude4f<\/h6>\n
