Magnificent Meditation!

Unique is Ânãpãnasati Breathing Meditation!

Thus have I heard. At one time the Blessed One was living at Sāvatthī, in the
palace
of Migāra's mother, in the Eastern Park, together with many very well
known elder disciples: Venerable Sāriputta, Mahā-Moggallāna, Mahā-Kassapa,
Mahā-Kaccāyana, Mahā-Kotthita, Mahā-Kappina, Mahā-Cunda, Ven. Anuruddha,
Revata, & Ānanda. These elder bhikkhus were teaching & instructing the new
bhikkhus, who thus achieved successively higher distinction & discrimination!
Then, surveying this silent Bhikkhu-Sangha, he addressed the bhikkhus thus:
I am content, bhikkhus, with this progress; I am content at heart, bhikkhus,
with
this development. Therefore, strive still more strenuously to attain the
unattained
, to achieve the unachieved, to realize the unrealized. I will stay...
