All forms of meditation can be divided into two types: Samatha and Vipasyana. The Ratnamega sutra (Cloud of Jewels sutra) (Discourse Like a Cloud of Jewels) defines these quite simply. "Samatha is concentration. Vipasyana is analysis of details of experience."
Ratnamegha Sutra, or the Cloud of Jewels Sutra (Skt. Ratnamegha-sūtra, Tib. དཀོན་མཆོག་སྤྲིན་གྱི་མདོ།, Wyl. dkon mchog sprin gyi mdo) is considered to be the first sutra translated into Tibetan by Thonmi Sambhota. [1]
