Breath by Breath: The Liberating Practice of Insight Buddhism Book

In any meditation class, one of the first things one learns is the importance of breathing. For Larry Rosenberg, a seasoned instructor of insight meditation, the breath is everything. And he is not in bad company since the Buddha himself delivered a sutra on the subject. Rosenberg's Breath by Breath is an elaboration on this short classic, but couched in familiar language liberally spiced with anecdotes from Rosenberg's decades of practice and teaching. It's Rosenberg's earthy humour and patient instruction that make him such a popular teacher and that make Breath by Breath a rewarding read. He takes the beginning student from the wandering "doggy mind" to becoming a chicken, along the way getting a teacher's bite and sitting like a frog. For the hurried and harried, he includes a nutshell two-step version of the sutra's 16-step practice (appended is the full text of the sutra). More of a coach than a disciplinarian, Rosenberg takes a "see what happens" attitude. "You don't make liberation happen", he says. "To contemplate breathing is to contemplate life itself". --Brian BruyaRead More
