Dhamma Thali

The breath is indeed a friend (Mitra) forever; from the time one is born till the time one passes away, it is with each one of us and yet ironically, we’ve remained a stranger to our own breath, veritably to ourselves. Simple, conscious, moment to moment awareness of the breath can transform our lives.
