Weapon of Mind = Shamata

from The Gelug/Kagyu Tradition of Mahamudra by H.H. the Dalai Lama + Alexander Berzin, p. 142

"When we achieve a mind focused on mind with the perfect placement of absorbed concentration, free from all faults of dullness or flightiness, we increasingly experience an element of bliss accompanying our meditation.

When we experience serene joy, on both a physical and mental level, brought on by the force of total absorption of mind on mind, we achieve a meditational state that fulfills the definition of shamata.

Our ordinary mind is like raw iron ore that needs to be made into a steel sword. Progressing through the stages for attaining shamata is like forging the iron into steel.

All the materials are there at our disposal.
But since the mind wanders after external objects, then although it is the material for attaining shamata, it cannot yet be used as this product.
We have to forge our mind through a meditational process.
It is like putting the iron ore into fire.

To fashion the steel into a sword, or in this analogy to fashion the mind into an instrument that understands voidness, our serenely stilled and settled mind needs to come to decisive realization of voidness as its object.

Without such a weapon of mind, we have no opponent with which to destroy the disturbing emotions and attitudes."
