Breathing mindfulness meditation, hailed by the Buddha as "sublime," is a cornerstone of Buddhist practice, believed to be key to his own enlightenment. This powerful technique fosters a harmonious blend of awareness and tranquility, guiding practitioners towards profound meditative states and deeper wisdom.

Shaw's exploration reveals the enduring legacy of this practice, from its ancient origins to its contemporary resurgence.
