Here the practice crosses over into insight proper. It begins by prising apart the namer from the named — the mind that perceives from the sensation it labels — then watches each formation arise and break up, like catching a film's separate frames instead of the moving picture, until the sense of a solid self comes loose. And insight needs a real, burning question behind it.

Reading from the Vimuttimagga, the class keeps attention on the bare point where the breath touches the nostril, never forcing it longer or shorter. The "sign" that ripens there is usually mistranslated as an image; it is really a touch, like spun silk or a soft breeze. The instruction is to stay with that and let it open into absorption, ignoring the other signs that arise.

Passive watching, on its own, frees no one. The class draws a sharp line between merely observing the mind and actively recollecting it — only the latter, paired with discrimination, reshapes conditioned habit. It closes with concrete instruction for following the breath's sensation to open the body's subtle channels.

The fourth and final tetrad is about purification: washing the mind the way dye is drawn out of white cloth, until what remains is bright awareness. Working through impermanence, fading away, cessation, and letting go, it treats the five poisons — greed, hatred, delusion, pride, and jealousy — as the dye to be bleached and worn out.

The practice turns to the mind itself — the third tetrad's work of experiencing, gladdening, steadying, and liberating it, opening with how perception is constructed moment to moment. It closes on the issue of deep concentration: the bliss, clarity, and no-thought of the calm mind are only the rind of the fruit, beautiful and addictive to rest in, and insight comes only by breaking through that tranquility rather than settling into it.

Working through the first two tetrads of Anapanasati, Lama Mark shows how resting attention on pure breath-sensation calms the body and opens into rapture and bliss, then how to read the mind's ever-changing "atmosphere" — distinguishing tranquility practice from the insight into impermanence and non-clinging that leads to liberation.
