安般念入門（6節）Introduction to Ānāpānasati (6 sessions)
A guided meditation series on the mindfulness of breathing
課程簡介 / Course Overview
安般念，又稱入出息念，是一種極為殊勝的禪修方法，是佛教最具代表性的禪修⽅法之⼀。安般念適合多數人修習，並且容易入門。其殊勝之處在於，它是少數同時培養⽌（奢摩他）與觀（毗婆舍那）的⽅法之⼀，如在四念住、十六特勝等中的完整次第修法。
Ānāpānasati, also known as mindfulness of the in‑ and out‑breath, is a highly regarded and representative meditation practice in Buddhism. It is suitable for most people and easy for beginners to start. What makes it particularly special is that it is one of the few practices that cultivate both samatha (serenity) and vipassanā (insight), as presented in the complete sequential training outlined in the Four Foundations of Mindfulness and the Sixteen Steps [of Mindfulness of Breathing].
本課程共六節，循序引導學員系統掌握安般念的理論與實修步驟。課程內容涵蓋 調身、調息、調心，以呼吸為專注對象，透過階段性練習，逐步培養專注力與覺知力，並達到身心輕鬆、專注的狀態。
This six-session course guides participants step by step through both the theory and practice of Ānāpānasati. The course covers adjusting the body, the breath, and the mind, using the breath as the object of attention. Through gradual practice, participants develop mindfulness and awareness while experiencing a relaxed and focused state of body and mind.
