Dih je eden od temeljnih pojavov, prisoten v številnih oblikah budistične meditacije. Pri tradicionalnih budističnih meditacijah, vključno z anapanasati (ānāpānasati) in vipasano (vipassanā), meditant opazuje dih, spremlja različne telesne in duševne pojave in na podlagi tega spoznava, da trpljenje (duḥkha) ni obvezno (ob tem lahko izkusi tudi nedualnost telesa in duha). Podobno se sedeča meditativna praksa (zazen), ki jo je razvila šola rinzai, začne z osredotočanjem na dihanje, nato ostri pozornost za psihofizične zaznave in vodi do končnega spoznanja o enotnosti duha in telesa, ki meditantu pomaga spoprijeti se z duḥkho. Vendar pa ta oblika zena v določenih pomembnih vidikih na novo podaja respiratorno filozofijo zgodnjega budizma. Avtor v študiji raziskuje, kako do teh prilagoditev prihaja v smislu izrecno somaestetske usmeritve. S poudarkom na drži telesa, zmožnosti zaznavanja težnostnega privlaka in izvajanju dihanja iz hare (spodnjega dela trebuha) skuša zazen prebuditi somatsko telo tako, da težo trpljenja preoblikuje v nedualno, življenjsko energijo.
