Mindfulness of Breathing Meditation: From First Sit to First Jhana
(Tim Ong, April 28, 2020) Successful American students of Ven. Pa-Auk Sayadaw Stephen Snyder and Tina Rasmussen explain how it's done, how success is achieved.

This talk on mindfulness of in-and-out breathing or anapanasati, as practiced in the enlightening Pa Auk Sayadaw tradition is translated in modern American English we might more easily understand.

It comes from two students who themselves reached these stages by practicing under and adhering to Pa Auk Sayadaw's knowledge wisdom.


These two Americans conceived of this explanation and entitled it "From First Sitting to First Jhana."
