The Buddha said to Ariṣṭa, “Bhikṣu, you truly cultivate mindfulness of breathing as I have expounded it. It is not uncultivated. However, bhikṣu, in regard to your cultivation of mindfulness of breathing, there is still that which is superior, surpassing, and higher. What is it that is superior and surpasses the cultivation by Ariṣṭa of mindfulness of breathing? This bhikṣu, if he depends upon a city or village... as previously stated in detail... up to skillfully training breathing out, contemplating cessation. This, Ariṣṭa Bhikṣu, is superior and surpasses your cultivation of mindfulness of breathing.”
