Hi all, I am wondering can I do samatha aka shamatha with my eyes open. Thanks.

    Yes, but it will add more distractions. Therefore, I think it is generally better to do it eyes closed.

    Metta,

    Only problem about keeping eyes closed all the time is that you can easily become to lax.

    Peace!

    yes i would say it is better because your meditation includes everything which leads to a more stable shamata in the long run.
