|
| Learn how to enjoy keeping the mind with the breath. If you spend time with the breath, you get sensitive not only to the breath, but also to what the mind is doing in the present moment and to the way it causes unnecessary suffering for itself. |

Getting To Know The Breath
9:07
|
|
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
|
|
| We live with the breath, and yet we don’t know it, and as a result don’t get as much out of it as we could. The breath can provide food, clothing, shelter, and medicine for the mind if you take the time to get to know it well. |

Insight From The Breath
13:42
|
|
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
|
|
| The type of insight that’s going to make a difference in the mind has to come from the mind’s being solidly based. So, until your mindfulness of the breath is really solid, this is where you want to focus all your efforts. |

Why The Breath
14:39
|
|
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
|
|
| The breath is like a mirror for the mind. When there’s greed, anger, delusion, they’ll show up in the breath. And you find that not only does the breath reflect the mind, but you can use the breath to have a positive effect on the mind as well. |

The Breath's Potential
15:58
|
|
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
|
|
| The mind is like an animal: that if it hasn’t been trained it’s difficult to live with. Once we train it, though, it stops creating so much suffering for itself. So we begin by staying in one place with something really simple: the breath. |
