=====Dhyana=====
[[Dhyāna in Buddhism|Dhyana]], while often presented as a form of focused attention or concentration, as in Buddhagosa's Theravada classic the ''[[Visuddhimagga]]'' ("Path of purification", 5th c. CE), according to a number of contemporary scholars and scholar-practitioners, it is actually a description of the development of perfected equanimity and mindfulness, apparently induced by satipatthana, an open monitoring of the breath, without trying to regulate it. The same description, in a different formula, can be found in the [[bojjhanga]], the "seven factors of awakening," and may therefore refer to the core program of early Buddhist ''bhavana''.<ref>Gethin, ''The Buddhist Path to Awakening''</ref> According to Vetter, dhyana seems to be a natural development from the sense-restraint and moral constrictions prescribed by the Buddhist tradition.<ref>Vetter, ''The meditative practices of early Buddhism''</ref>{{sfn|Polak|2011}}
