About this episode
In the last Tetrad of Ānāpānasati, the last four steps of Breath Meditation, the Buddha teaches us to breathe in and out focussing on: Anicca - Impermanence Virāga - Fading Away of Passion = Dispassion Nirodha - Ending/Cessation Patinissagga - Letting Go However, these four contemplations do not apply only to breath meditation. In fact, they should be underlying principles of our whole Dhamma practice: Whether it's generosity and kindness, or purifying our ethical behaviour through keeping precepts, or practising sense restraint, or cultivating any meditation object - all of it should be done with these four modes, these four guidelines informing and directing our efforts in bhāvanā.
