Breathing mindfulness meditation is a cornerstone of Buddhist practice, believed to be key to the Buddha''s own enlightenment. This powerful technique fosters a harmonious blend of awareness and tranquility, guiding practitioners towards profound meditative states and deeper wisdom.
Sarah Shaw guides readers through the history and contemporary interpretations of breathing mindfulness in the Pali or Southern tradition of Buddhism. In this in-depth study, she examines:
- The Anapanasati Sutta, the foundational Buddhist text on breathing mindfulness;

- The integration of breath meditation into modern spiritual practices;
