I’ve been asked to comment on “True Nature” (as in, “a person’s true nature”).
“The Cessation of In-breathing and Out-breathing” (comment on Tao Bums, edited)
What did Gautama mean by “the cessation of in-breathing and out-breathing”? The phrase occurs often in the Pali sermon volumes (along with “the cessation of perception and sensation”). Did he actually mean that the breath stops?
