Breathe, You Are Alive (Thich Nhat Han)

This book was really just a follow up to the more detailed and complete "The Heart Of the Buddha's Teaching" by the same author. This book delved into to meaning of the Sutra On the Full Awareness Of Breathing attributed to Buddha. It gives the sutra, and offers some commentary, although the commentary was predictable and didn't reveal much beneath the surface of the meditative words. Below is the complete Sutra, with minor paraphrastic revisions. I have since committed it to memory and have used it many times in meditation and breathing exercises.

1.Breathing in a long breath, I know, “I am breathing in a long breath.” Breathing out a long breath, I know, “I am breathing out a long breath.”
