Reviews
"Sarah Shaw brings meditation alive in her well-researched book on Buddhist breath meditation. In describing the depth and breadth of her subject, her writing provides a feel for the wonderous experiences of breathing mindfulness." -- Gil Fronsdal , author of The Buddha before Buddhism and founding teacher at the Insight Meditation Center "Drawing on Buddhist texts, field research, and interviews, this is a fascinating overview of the numerous interlocking ways in which the practice of mindfulness of breathing ( anapanasati ) has developed and thrived. The image of an ancient, life-rich forest is used to illustrate this richness of ways of working with the breath, from ancient India to Southeast Asia and Sri Lanka of recent centuries and, more recently, in the West. Key ancient texts are explored on the understanding of the 16 stages of anapanasati and on how they are used to support both samatha and vipassana : deep calm and incisive insight. The use of anapanasati in Southeast Asia is shown to vary from the "dry" insight practices first championed in Myanmar in the nineteenth century--Shaw explores, for example, older traditions drawing on yantra s and related chants, as well the Thai forest tradition, where breath meditation is drawn on alongside a strong adherence to Vinaya (Buddhist monastic training). The book helps practitioners of one style of anapanasati to locate their practice within a wider tradition, and scholars to see the potent variety of this practice." -- Peter Harvey , author of An Introduction to Buddhism and Professor Emeritus of Buddhist Studies at the University of Sunderland
Synopsis
Explore the life-changing practice of mindfulness of the breath--one of the most popular and foundational meditation practices, Explore the life-changing practice of anapanasati, or breathing mindfulness-one of the most popular and foundational Buddhist meditation practices. Whether you practice vipassana, samatha, or any type of practice that develops concentration, this book will be a revelation. "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 toward profound meditative states and deeper wisdom. Yet, even among those who practice one strand or another of this practice, there is a treasure trove of variety and richness to discover. Oxford University scholar and practitioner Sarah Shaw guides readers through the history and contemporary interpretations of breathing mindfulness, emphasizing 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 systematization of the practice through the commentarial texts like Vimuttimagga (The Path to Freedom) and Visuddhimagga (The Path of Purification); Intriguing, lesser-known systems of esoteric Theravada breath meditation nearly lost to history; The history and variety of the practice within the Thai Forest tradition, looking at key figures including Ajahn Sao, Ajahn Maha Boowa, Ajahn Lee, Ajahn Chah, and Ajahn Thate; Key figures in Myanmar, including Mingun Sayadaw, Sunlun Sayadaw, Webu Sayadaw, Mahasi Sayadaw, and Pa Auk Sayadaw; Other influential innovators like U Ba Khin, S.N. Goenka, Ajahn Buddhadasa, and Ayya Khema; The importance of breath meditation and its complex relationship to the insight meditation (vipassana) movement; And the influence of breathing mindfulness within other Buddhist traditions and beyond, including Indic traditions, Chinese traditions, Zen, Tibetan Buddhism, and more. Shaw's exploration reveals the enduring legacy of this practice, from its ancient origins to its contemporary resurgence, and how this might be applicable in your own practice., This in-depth study of anapanasati, or breathing mindfulness, unveils a striking variety of approaches to the Buddhist meditation practice that has transformed countless lives over the centuries. In the Buddhist tradition, breathing mindfulness is used to bring about a balance of mindfulness and calm. It is a means to access states of meditative absorption (jhana) and a meditative anchor as one cultivates insight into core Buddhist doctrines like no-self and impermanence. Because of the tranquil, unifying, and comprehensive nature of breathing practice, it has always been regarded highly in Buddhism but has enjoyed a particular renaissance in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Sarah Shaw guides readers through the history and contemporary interpretations of breathing mindfulness in the Pali or Southern tradition of Buddhism. Beginning with the foundational ancient Buddhist text on breathing mindfulness-the Andpdnasati-sutta-she demonstrates how the practice was systematized in the centuries after the Buddha's death by the influence of the important commentarial texts Vimuttimagga (The Path to Freedom) and Visuddhimagga (The Path of Purification). She also explores traditional Southeast Asian approaches to breath meditation that were nearly lost to history; the popular embrace of breath meditation in contemporary times; the relation of breath meditation to the insight meditation (vipassana) movement; and the role of breath meditation in other spiritual traditions.
