The Practice to Liberation ~ Anapanasati ~ Teachings of the Buddha

A reading of the Anapanasati Sutta: Mindfulness of Breathing - MN
118 This reading is an amalgam of translations by Bhante Sujato,
Bhikkhu Bodhi, Thanisarro Bhikkhu - compiled and edited by Ayya
Jitindriya. The Ānāpānasati Sutta (Pāli), "Breath-Mindfulness
Discourse," Majjhima Nikaya 118, is a discourse that details the
Buddha's instruction on using awareness of the breath (anapana)
as an initial focus for meditation. The sutta includes sixteen
steps of practice, and groups them into four tetrads, associating
them with the four satipatthanas (placings of mindfulness).
According to American scholar monk, Thanissaro Bhikkhu, this
sutta contains the most detailed meditation instructions in the
Pali Canon. The method of practising Ānāpānasati , as explained
in the Ānāpānasati -sutta of the Majjhima Nikàya, is complete in
itself. One can understand and practise this more easily than
methods found in other suttas.
