Anapanasati Sutta Introduction

This talk is on the discourse called the Ānāpānasati Sutta and it’s located in the Middle Length Discourse. For clarification, Sutta means discourse. And Anapana means breathing in and out. And Sati means mindfulness. So it's the discourse, on mindfulness of breathing in and out. So It seems that whatever references we have, from the ancient texts of what kind of meditation practice the Buddha himself did, it seems that the primary reference is that he practiced mindfulness of breathing.
