Live Teaching ingepland voor 19-01-2025: Breathing Mindfully

Live Teaching: Breathing Mindfully.

Mindfulness of breathing was the meditation the Buddha practiced underneath the Bodhi tree, and remained his preferred meditation even after his enlightenment. Because of this it has always claimed a special prestige as the royal road to Nibbana.
The chief source is the Ānāpānasati Sutta in the Theravāda Majjhima Nikāya.
By considering mindfulness in its historical context, by including all relevant texts, and by understanding the historical evolution of the schools, we arrive at a richer, more nuanced, and more realistic understanding of mindfulness.
This not only helps us appreciate our tradition better, it gives a more useful, balanced, and authentic framework for practice.
