Also, as I said earlier, the SS is a list of disconnected meditation objects, lacking in coherence.

However, the AS is integrated, a gradual teaching.

The AS does not separate Anapanasati from Satipatthana.

The AS asks:

"Now how is mindfulness with in-&-out breathing developed & pursued so as to be of great fruit, of great benefit?

"And how is mindfulness with in-&-out breathing developed & pursued so as to bring the four foundations of mindfulness to their culmination?

"And how are the four foundations of mindfulness developed & pursued so as to bring the seven factors for awakening to their culmination?

"And how are the seven factors for awakening developed & pursued so as to bring clear knowing & release to their culmination? In short, the AS is the expression of the path, from beginning to end.
