Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Wikipedia's article on anapanasati, mindfulness of breathing, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, reliable for standard identifying facts and less reliable for detailed doctrinal variation across Buddhist schools, which a dedicated Buddhist studies source would need to settle.
Notes
Wikipedia's article on anapanasati, consulted 2026-08-12. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication, useful here for the canonical Anapanasati Sutta's own silence on counting breaths and its later addition, attributed separately to Buddhaghosa's commentary and to An Shigao's and Vasubandhu's own transmission line.
