Abstract
In modern society, meditation has become a key approach for people to cope with stress and achieve self-improvement. This article delves into the adaptability and practical value of Luangpor Pramote Pamojjo's comprehensive meditation in contemporary society. The article first discusses the background and formation of his meditation system. Then it discusses how he characterizes the two temperaments of practitioners in the field of vipassana meditation considering the human condition in an age of digital communication and the intensification of consumerism. This involves the way contemporary people are either distracted or experience an intensification of "craving" (greed). By placing the meditation method of Luangpor Pramote in this contemporary context, this paper demonstrates the appeal of its doctrine to the characteristics of contemporary meditators.
