View submission: the ānāpānasati sutta: inhalation-exhalation mindfulness
Translated by Thich Nhat Hanh from Ānāpānasati Sutta, Majjhima Nikāya 118.
The Discourse on the Full Awareness of Breathing is one of the most important sutras in the Plum Village tradition, and is taught at every Plum Village retreat. When Thich Nhat Hanh discovered this discourse, he said, “I felt I was the happiest person in the world.”
Thay’s first English translation was published in 1988, and he continued to revise and refine his translation in recent years.

Personally, I prefer this translation, which encourages me to practice, instead of taking it as a study object.
