1.66

"Being mindful of the breath exiting and entering is like a gatekeeper standing by the gate, observing people entering and exiting. Stopping the mind is also like this! When the breath exits, one knows it passes from the navel, heart, chest, and throat to the mouth and nose. When the breath enters, it passes from the mouth, nose, throat, chest, and heart to the navel. Tying the mind to a single place in this way is called 'stopping.'"
