      Mindfulness of In-and-out breathing, is one of the most important
      exercises for reaching mental concentration and the four absorptions.

      Nowadays different instructors on meditation, give different
      interpretations to this technique of calming the mind, and this is
      also used as a stepping stone for Insight-meditation.

      In the Satipatthana Sutta (ie. discourse on the Foundations of
      mindfulness) and elsewhere, four methods of practice are given which
      may also serve as basis for Insight meditation. (ie. Vipassana-
      Bhavana).
