At that time, after the Bhagavān’s two months of sitting in dhyāna had passed, he awoke from dhyāna. With the bhikṣu saṃgha seated before him, he said to the bhikṣus, “Suppose those on outer paths, who have left home, were to question you, ‘What seated dhyāna was Śramaṇa Gautama in for those two months?’ You should reply, “For two months, the Tathāgata was abiding in the contemplation of sitting in dhyāna with mindfulness of breathing.” For what reason? In these two months, I was mindful of ānāpāna, abiding a long time in contemplation, When there was an in-breath, I was mindful of the in-breath, knowing it as it really was; when there was an out-breath, I was mindful of the out-breath, knowing it as it really was; whether long or short. Aware of the entire body, I was mindful of the in-breath, knowing it as it really was; aware of the entire body, I was mindful of the out-breath, knowing it as it really was. Calming bodily formations, I was mindful of the in-breath, knowing it as it really is.
