The Buddha taught that the way to free the mind from suffering is through gaining insight into what truly is. One of the tools the Buddha taught for gaining insight is mindfulness, the ability to be fully aware in each moment. You can develop mindfulness through the practice of vipassana meditation. Buddhism addresses two major types of meditation. They are different mental skills, modes of functioning or qualities of consciousness. They are called Vipassana and Samatha.
There are a wide variety of books or scriptures in Hinduism. These were composed in the Sanskrit language and were compiled by Vyasadeva, the literary incarnation of the Supreme Lord Krishna.

Smriti includes epics such as Mahabharata and Ramayana, and the 18 Puranas and 18 Upa Puranas.
