Hi Deshy,

No sir/ma'am/miss I don't believe so.

If one carefully reads the Sattipatthana Sutta, the Buddha put emphasis on awareness, not whether the breath is long or short.

Don't mean to be polemical but I do think this is an EXTREMELY important point.

Thank you,
Stefos

The "EXTREMELY important point" IMO is that without noble right concentration (samma samadhi), vipassana can be quite fruitless. This is why I said "jhana-induced vipassana".
