Publisher's summary

A practical guide and map to the Anapanasati Sutta and Loving-Kindness Meditation (The Brahmaviharas). A new look at the practice of Mindfulness as it is taught only from the sutta texts of the Majjhima Nikaya. Bhante Vimalaramsi has found a step in the practice that has been left out. This book explains that step and the entire map of the Buddha's practice in a new way just using the sutta texts with no added commentaries. The Path to Nibbana is given to you right there in the suttas. Bhante has unlocked the code and practiced this technique and now shares it with the world. After 20 years of meditation practice with teachers in Burma, not satisfied, Bhante went to a cave and spent three months, with a cobra for company, and studied the original texts and practiced. Amazing and very different results arose for him. He was stunned to go deeper faster than he had ever experienced. Awakening was real if practiced the way the Buddha taught it. It's all here: the basis for what the Buddha taught, the sutta references, the meditation instructions, all of the progress steps up to and including awakening.

Clarity of practice

I have been a vipassana meditator for years now and with each day my practice develops deeper and is imbued with wisdom. This book has been such an important part of this journey. The anapanasati sutta, along with many other suttas, can be vague to say the least. Life is meditation; meditation is life has been such a wonderful guide and unpacks the deeper teachings of this sutta.

Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
