[287] Bhikkhus, there are bhikkhus in this Saṅgha of bhikkhus who dwell devoted to the practice of developing mindfulness of breathing (ānāpānasati).
Bhikkhus, mindfulness of breathing, when developed and cultivated, is of great fruit and great benefit. Bhikkhus, mindfulness of breathing, when developed and cultivated, fulfills the four establishments of mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna). The four establishments of mindfulness, when developed and cultivated, fulfill the seven factors of awakening (bojjhaṅga). The seven factors of awakening, when developed and cultivated, fulfill true knowledge and liberation (vijjāvimutti).
