On Page Fifty-Eight, Sayadaw concludes on the jhanas (at least the material ones) by noting that with the attainment of the fourth jhana 'the breath stops completely'. At this point, he says, the yogi can develop Vipassana or continue to develop Samatha. He will continue with Samatha meditation on the 32 parts of the body, the skeleton, the ten kasinas, etc.
I'm holding my breath
