Modern Commentaries on the Anapanasati Sutta

Postby tsurezuregusa » Mon Dec 10, 2012 4:05 pm

Hello,

I am looking for commentaries on the Anapanasati Sutta from modern practitioners/scholars that explain the 16 bases in 4 tetrads. So far I have read:

- Buddhadasa: Mindfulness on Breathing; Mindfulness with Breathing
- Vimalaramsi: Anapanasati Sutta : A Practical Guide to Mindfulness of Breathing and Tranquil Wisdom Meditation
- Pa Auk Sayadaw: Anapanasati an Introduction; Knowing and Seeing
- Bhikkhu Analayo: Aspekte der Atembetrachtung
- Bhikkhu Nanamoli: Mindfulness of Breathing in Buddhist Texts from the Pali Canon and Extracts from the Pali Commentaries.

I am especially interested in Thanissaro Bhikkhu's take on this sutta and also Ledi Sayadaw. If you can point me to any text in English or German that would be great.

I am grateful for your help.

Kind regards,
Florian

“The unawakened mind tends to make war against the way things are. To follow a path with heart, we must understand the whole process of making war within ourselves and without, how it begins and how it ends."
