Faith in Buddhist practice and life spans a continuum from skepticism to confidence, vivid clarity, and profound longing. Lama Zopa guides an experiential practice beginning with shamatha (English: tranquility, or calm abiding) and leading into meditative inquiry, an insight practice from the Tibetan that invokes, instills, and integrates prajna, precise knowing.
