Summary:

The term "anapanasati" does not mean, as is generally interpreted, mindfulness established on in and out breathing. Actually it means mindfulness established on an object all the time with each in and out breath: Initially one establishes mindfulness on the breathing itself, then on different kinds of feeling, different states of mind, then the characteristic of impermanence… and finally on relinquishment, which is the ultimate objective of the practice.
