View source for Four mental engagements

<noinclude>The [[nine ways of resting the mind]], or stages of [[shamatha]] practice can be condensed into</noinclude> '''four mental engagements''' (Tib. [[ཡིད་ལ་བྱེད་པ་བཞི་]], ''yi la jepa shyi''; [[Wyl.]] ''yid la byed pa bzhi''):

#tightly focused engagement (Tib. [[བསྒྲིམས་ཏེ་འཇུག་པའི་ཡིད་བྱེད་]], ''drim té jukpé yi jé'') – relates to the first two stages of resting the mind
#interrupted engagement (Tib. [[ཆད་ཅིང་འཇུག་པའི་ཡིད་བྱེད་]], ''ché ching jukpé yi jé'') – this occurs from stage three to stage seven, when one is still susceptible to the obstacles of [[dullness]] and [[agitation]] and is therefore unable to abide for a long time
#uninterrupted engagement (Tib. [[ཆད་པར་མེད་པར་འཇུག་པའི་ཡིད་བྱེད་]], ''chepar mepar jukpé yi jé'' – at stage eight one is able to remain unaffected by the obstacles of dullness and agitation without too much exertion
#effortless engagement (Tib. [[རྩོལ་བ་མེད་པར་འཇུག་པའི་ཡིད་བྱེད་]], ''tsolwa mepar jukpé yi jé'') – at the ninth stage one is able to maintain the practice effortlessly<noinclude>
