Replying to (and reviving, sorry) this old thread for
3 reasons:
-
To thank everyone who participated for the amazing resource that has been created! It’s was a weird and wonderful ride to read through it. Special thanks to @sujato for starting this conversation and helping explain his thinking at the time on the translation, especially seeing as how the translation itself has clearly evolved in the meantime.
-
To add this link and reference code for the sutta itself, so it will show up up when people click the “
Join the discussion about this sutta” button from the sutta page. I would have loved to find this thread when I was going through the results there: mn118 - Mindfulness of Breathing | Ānāpānassatisutta -
To add a link to the essay on the future tense in mindfulness of breathing, mentioned in the original post, but not linked
On the use of future tense in the steps of mindfulness of breathing
