	Anapanasati FAQ - 1
		Some teachers seem to teach Anapanasati differently than the way I think that it was taught at Suan Mokkh.
		Don't forget: the purpose of anapanasati is the quenching of dukkha through letting go of all attachment to "I" and "mine." Developing the "Dhamma tools" needed to experience and contemplate the vipassana of the last four lessons (experience not technique) doesn't happen by wandering around.
		Although this is extremely common in anapanasati practice, and perhaps all forms of meditation, it also leads us to explore what attachment is all about.

	ANAPANASATI
		With anapanasati we stay with an object that is quite neutral — we don’t have any strong feelings of like or dislike for our breath — and just note the beginning of an inhalation, its middle and its end, then the beginning of an exhalation, its middle and end.
		So the right attitude to anapanasati is being very patient, having all the time in the world, letting go or discarding all worldly, personal or financial problems.
		The same with anapanasati: we recognize the way it is now and start from there, we sustain our attention a little longer, and we begin to understand what concentration is. Don’t make Superman resolutions when you’re not Superman.

		However, anapanasati is a different kind of training, where the object that we're concentrating on is so simple that it's not at all interesting on the intellectual level.
		So it's not a matter of being interested in it, but of putting forth effort and using this natural function of the body as a point of concentration.
		Be aware of that point where you get fed up or feel aversion or impatience with it, recognise it, then let it go and go back to the breath again.
