Placement meditation. A focusing or stabilizing meditation in which the mind is trained to stay on a single object. Equivalent to “calm abiding” or “tranquility” meditation (śamatha, gzhi gnas). The term is one part of the basic dyad “analytical meditation and placement meditation,” which together are intended to encompass all the kinds of meditation in the Buddhist path.
