I was wondering if this was a teaching in Anapanasati, since it begins with...

Yes it is. It is the same teaching.

Anapanasati is mindfulness with breathing rather than mindfulness of breathing.

Mindfulness keeps the mind free from hindrances & unwholesome qualities. Mindfulness keeps right view in the mind.

It is not possible to be 'mindful' of the breathing because, as 'memory', sati (mindfulness) can only recollect mental objects.

Often people think the world is crazy. The Buddhist world is more crazier, when its misapprehensions regarding mindfulness of breathing.

Kind regards
