Kobat-Zinn’s appreciation



About Analayo: “ his emphasis on gentleness and non-striving and openness, rather than contracting around any one view or teaching. Rather than striving to “attain” what is being pointed to and invited in a particular practice, his emphasis is always on recognizing that quality’s inherent presence. Whether it is breathing in or breathing out experiencing joy, or happiness, or impermanence, dispassion, cessation, or letting go, we simply invite that quality to manifest on its own as we attend to the inbreath and to the out-breath, and to the pauses between them.”

-From the Intro to Analayo's Mindfulness of Breathing (2019).
