The Kind Look
Anapana Sati Yoga, the meditation through breathing, was the first method of meditation expounded by the Buddha in his speech about the foundation of attention. Buddha gave special emphasis to this meditation because, according to him, it is the gateway to awakening. It is said that as he sat at the foot of the Bodhi Tree and resolved not to get up until he attained enlightenment, he took Anapana Sati Yoga as the object of his meditation.
