SN 54.11 (Icchnagala-sutta) says that sammasatisamadhi is "a noble dwelling, a divine dwelling, the Tathagata’s dwelling." Basically, that's anapanasati and jhana.

sure, but these things needs to be understood, with Right View, i.e., what the basic practise of mindfulness actually is, before mindfulness with breathing can be practised. 'jhana' is the same.

'anapanasati' & 'jhana' are just words, often thrown around with blind faith & superstition

with metta

There is the case where a monk, having gone to the wilderness, to the shade of a tree, or to an empty building, sits down folding his legs crosswise, holding his body erect, and setting mindfulness to the fore. Always mindful, he breathes in; always mindful he breathes out.

There is the case where a monk develops mindfulness as a factor for awakening dependent on seclusion, dependent on dispassion and dependent on cessation that results in relinquishment.

Anapanasati Sutta: Mindfulness with Breathing Here, bhikkhus, a noble disciple gains concentration, gains one-pointedness of mind (jhana), having made relinquishment the object.

SN 48.10 One is mindful to abandon wrong view & to enter & remain in right view: This is one's right mindfulness. Thus these three qualities — right view, right effort & right mindfulness — run & circle around right view.

MN 117 And what, monks, is right view? Knowledge with regard to...the stopping of stress...

Magga-vibhanga Sutta: An Analysis of the Path And this, monks, is the noble truth of the cessation of stress: the remainderless fading & cessation, renunciation, relinquishment, release & letting go of that very craving.
