Hey! Thank you so much for demonstrating you have a massively huge,
hate-filled Ego!

Any chance you are working on that? Oh, I guess not. You are right. I
am wrong. Got it!

Don't bother.
Unless you agree EXACTLY with that guy's opinion, you get hatred and
vulgarities thrown at you. He is proof positive that merely studying
ancient writings does nothing to free one from fundamentalism and
intolerance. He's the Pat Robertson of Buddhism.

This is just one of the hundreds or Thousands of books that teaches
you how to use the Breath as an object of Meditation. It is obviously
NOT a metaphor!


" Although there are many subjects of meditation, we strongly
recommend you start with focusing your total undivided attention on
your breathing... "


" ....begin focusing your attention on the rims of your nostrils.
Simply notice the feeling of breath going in and out. When one
inhalation is complete and before exhaling begins, there is a brief
pause. Notice it and notice the beginning of exhaling. When the
exhalation is complete, there is another brief pause before inhaling
begins. Notice this brief pause, too. This means that there are two
brief pauses of breath--one at the end of inhaling, and the other at
the end of exhaling. The two pauses occur in such a brief moment you
may not be aware of their occurrence. But when you are mindful, you
can notice them. "
