इदं पुरे चित्तमचारि चारिकं, येनिच्छकं यत्थकामं यथासुखं।
तदज्जहं निग्गहेस्सामि योनिसो, हत्थिप्पभिन्नं विय अङ्कुसग्गहो॥
-This mind that wanders wherever it
wishes, wherever it desires, wherever it sees pleasure, I will first make
it steadfast.
I will train it thoroughly like a mahout
with a goad, trains a wild elephant.
My
Breath and I
Anapana
is the first step in the practice of Vipassana meditation.
Anapana means observation...
