Description: We come to the fifteenth step of mindfulness of breathing, which is represented by the Pali word nirodha. So nirodha means being “without obstruction.” And the most common translation for nirodha in English is “cessation.” For most of us, cessation is an ending. The word “cessation” has a very different feeling than being free of obstruction.
