The Ānāpānasati Sutta (MN 118) provides a succinct roadmap to Nibbāna. The first stage of Ānāpānasati only involves embracing the ‘Buddha’s worldview’ (‘āna’) and rejecting the ‘mundane worldviews’ (‘āpāna’); see “Ānāpāna – Adopting Buddha’s Worldview and Discarding ‘Mundane Views’.” That enables one to attain the Sotāpanna stage.
▪Then, the second stage of Ānāpānasati is to cultivate Cattāro Satipaṭṭhāna.
▪That enables one to fulfill Satta Bojjhaṅga and the Noble Eightfold Path (ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko magga) in the third stage of Ānāpānasati.
▪The second and third stages of Ānāpānasati are discussed in “Ānāpānasati – Mindfulness (Sati) Based on Buddha’s Worldview.”
▪This new section will focus on the first stage of Ānāpānasati.
▪Previous posts leading to this section are in the “Buddha Dhamma” section.
