Answer by Suminda Sirinath S. Dharmasena for To what extent can Ānāpānasati be related to Vispassanā?

Anapanasati is divided into 4 tetrads which correspond to the 4 Satipatthana hence the pratice of Anapanasati is actually a forms of Satipatthana. A thorough introduction to Anapanasati is difficult in this format hence it might be worthwhile to read a more elaborate book on it: Anapanasati: Mindfulness of Breathing by Buddhadasa Bhikkhu
