Handling Things Wisely (Ānāpānasati) | Aljoscha #2, Asher | 4.18.22

Aljoscha, Asher and Dhammarato talk about how we use the 16 steps of ānāpānasati (mindfulness of breathing) to fulfill the satipatthāna (the four foundations of mindfulness) and to perfect the Eightfold Noble Method (Ariya Atthangika Magga) in the sambojjhanga (seven factors of awakening) thus achieving freedom through wisdom (vijjāvimutti). #mindfulness #mindfulnessofbreathing #wisdom
