I am in the habit of getting the concepts samatha and samadhi mixed up. To me they seem like related or even similar concepts. Is that correct? My understanding is that samatha seems like the process of integration and samadhi seems like the result of integration. Is that the correct interpretation?
As a related point are the underlying concepts related if you consider the Pali origins of the words i.e. do they have similar roots in the language?
