معنی
The practice of mental focus/calm.
زمینه فرهنگی
Meditation is often a communal activity. During the Water Festival (Thingyan), many people 'Taya htaing' at monasteries to start the new year with a clean mind. Similar to Myanmar, Thai culture values 'Nang Samathi'. However, the Burmese 'Vipassana' style is specifically famous for its 'noting' technique. In the West, 'Taya htaing' is often translated as 'Mindfulness'. While the Burmese term is religious in origin, it is now used for secular stress relief too. The roots of 'Taya htaing' are in India (Vipassana). Many Burmese monks travel to India to meditate at the Bodhi tree.
The 'Ma' Rule
Always put 'ma' (not) right before 'htaing'. Saying 'Ma-taya' sounds like you are calling someone 'unjust'!
Respect the Posture
When you say you are 'Taya htaing', people assume you are sitting cross-legged. If you meditate on a chair, you might specify 'kula-htaing paw-ma' (on a chair).

Not just 'Sitting'
Never just say 'Htaing tal' if you mean meditate. That just means you are sitting down to rest or wait.
