สรุปเนื้อหา
The dantian is primarily recognized as located about two to three inches below the navel, differing from PhraMongkolthepmuni's teachings which suggest it lies two finger breadths above. While the locations vary, there are numerous parallels in meditation techniques between An Shigao and Daoist practices. This illustration points to the need for further exploration into the potential influence Buddhism had on Daoism during this historical period. The study includes various anatomical focal points within the body related to meditation.

the dantian is located around two or three inches below the navel. 53
This is in contrast to the teachings of PhraMongkolthepmuni, which
locates the centre point two finger breadths above the navel. Despite
different opinions about location of the centre, it is interesting there
are many similarities between the meditation techniques taught by
An Shigao and the Daoists. Further research is needed, but there
is some evidence that Daoism was influenced by Buddhism during
this period, something that I will explore in the next section of this
paper.
