Any practitioner, after meditating for some time, inevitably wonders what
meditation method the historical Buddha Shakyamuni himself used while beneath the
Bodhi Tree. Many people understand that prior to his realization, Shakyamuni Buddha
studied with many of the great yogis of his time, but most do not know what method
he ultimately found leads most directly to Nirvana. In Ajhan Buddhadasa Bhikkhu's
book, Mindfulness With Breathing, the Thai meditation master provides practitioners
with penetrating insights into the Anapanasati Sutta, the canonical text which many
believe is the most direct transmission of Shakyamuni Buddha's breath meditation
methods. Combined with a concise translation of the sutta itself, Mindfulness with
Breathing is one of the best guides to Buddhist meditation practice available in
the English language.
