Dharma Practice series: Mindfulness of Breathing

A 9-month program focusing on the development of Anapanasati, Mindfulness of Breathing. Meditation on breathing is one of the most common forms of meditation in Buddhism.

This 9-month program is based on the Anapanasati Sutta, which details the Buddha's instructions for using the breath as a means to develop the entire path of meditation practice. It is a practice that develops insight, the 4 Foundations of Mindfulness, the 7 Factors of Awakening and ultimately Liberation. A combination of meditation, teachings, and discussions.

Past Dharma Practice Seres are also available:
