Going to the ocean, and hearing the rhythm of the ocean, has been that pull, that helped me to calm, and focus. Now I'm understanding it’s my breath that can do the same? Larry: Yes. Questioner: Kind of just that rhythm, always there, never ending. Larry: Well, that's the beauty of it. It's very simple, and it's always there. And what the Buddha has done, as you go through the remaining steps, you'll see, he's just capitalized. He's extracted a profound significance, out of a very fundamental, and simple event, that if you're alive, you're breathing. And he's just taken it to the full, he’s just gone all away with it. Most religious traditions use the breath, in some way, or another. It's often conceived of as, the breath of God. Many Christian contemplatives use it. It's used elsewhere as well.
