Breath by Breath: The Liberating Practice of Insight Meditation, by Larry Rosenberg

Published by

Bodhipaksa

February 22, 2007

Available from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

Rosenberg’s book, taken from talks given at the Cambridge Insight Meditation Center in Massachusetts, is a masterful exploration of a traditional Buddhist text on the Mindfulness of Breathing practice.

Rosenberg is not only profound, but witty. His book is full of meaningful and sometimes very humorous anecdotes from his years of practice and teaching.

With extraordinary lucidity he plumbs the depths of this simple practice, showing us that “To contemplate breathing is to contemplate life itself.”
