Anāpānasati Sutta

Anāpānasati (Pali), meaning 'mindfulness of breathing' ("sati" means mindfulness; "ānāpāna" refers to inhalation and exhalation), is a fundamental form of meditation taught by the Buddha. According to this teaching, classically presented in the Anāpānasati Sutta, practicing this form of meditation as a part of the Noble Eightfold Path leads to the removal of all defilements (kilesa) and finally to the attainment of nibbāna (nirvana).

The Anapanasati Sutta (Pāli: Breath-Mindfulness Discourse) is contained in the Majjhima Nikaya as sutta number 118. The sutta details the Buddha's instruction on using the breath as a focus for meditation and is a major text in the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism. The sutta lists the 16 objects on which one may meditate in order to bear insight and understanding into the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (Satipaṭṭhāna), the Seven Factors of Awakening (Bojjhangas), and ultimately Nibbana.
