When we pay attention to our breath, we are learning how to return to, and remain in, the present moment - to anchor ourselves in the here and now on purpose, without judgment. An initiation into subtle understandings: * The elusive essence of equanimity; * The calm clarity of meditation; * The consciousness of our Oneness with all life forms. * Our karmic relationship with all fellow beings. * The philosophy of nonviolence, kindness, and gentleness; * The practical traditions of non-harming conduct; * And many insights and customs of the culture. With abundant illustrations and occasional poetry. To further hint at the delicate, harmonious quality. Carefully encoded here, in wood and ink.
