This book is an updated version of Bhante Vimalaramsi's widely read "Anapanasati Sutta: A Practical Guide to Mindfulness of Breathing and Tranquil Wisdom Meditation". Using the Earliest Buddhist Suttas, including the Majjhima Nikaya and the Samyutta Nikaya, Bhante shows us how to practice meditation using those books as our only guide. He shows the reader that there was a step that was left out that is critical to the success of the meditation. This step is the key to the ending of craving and the attaining of Nibbana in this very life.
