Abstract
Concentration of the Mindfulness of Breathing (Ānāpānassatisamādhi) is a concise exposition of the theory and practice of ānāpānassati in Buddhist meditation. The volume is derived from a seven-day retreat taught by Venerable Bhikkhu Kaiyin at Fuyan Buddhist Institute, Hsinchu, Taiwan, from November 3 to 10, 2001, and reflects the original pedagogical structure of those teachings.
Grounded in the Pāli Canon, the text presents mindfulness of breathing as a foundational method for the cultivation of samādhi, outlining the progressive development from mindfulness to concentration and from concentration to insight. It systematically examines breath-based meditative techniques, levels of concentration, and the role of ānāpānassati within both samatha and vipassanā frameworks.
Recorded and compiled by Bhikkhu Kairen and Bhikkhu Jianfa, translated by Hillary Chen (2015), and published as a bilingual Chinese–English edition, the work contributes to scholarly studies of Buddhist meditation theory, practice methodology, and contemporary meditative pedagogy.
