Deluded concentration, or Moha Samādhi, refers to a state in which the mind becomes calm and still but lacks clear awareness, mindfulness, and full comprehension. Its main characteristics are as follows:

• Calmness under the influence of delusion: This is a kind of tranquility without genuine awareness and therefore does not lead to wisdom. A practitioner may sit with the eyes closed, remain motionless, or repeatedly use a meditation word until the mind becomes deeply still, eventually sinking into and becoming attached to the pleasant or peaceful state.
• Attachment to mental images: In this state, practitioners may experience visions, lights, colors, or mentally constructed images. They may become fascinated by or attached to these experiences. According to this perspective, such attachment is not considered the right path because the practitioner becomes absorbed in mental imagery rather than developing clear awareness.
• Inability to truly overcome mental defilements: Although practitioners may experience happiness and tranquility while in this type of concentration, once they leave the meditative state, anger, greed, delusion, and suffering may remain unchanged. The underlying causes of suffering have not actually been removed.

Cultivating mindfulness through movement is therefore used to awaken and sustain mindfulness, rather than simply sitting with closed eyes in pursuit of tranquility. Continuous awareness helps practitioners recognize when concentration is becoming clouded by delusion, preventing them from becoming trapped in peaceful states that may slow down the practice without leading to genuine insight.
