Once Descartes got finished denying everything, the one constant he found was that he was thinking. Yet, a Buddhist would tell you that our thoughts are all over the place, and are the farthest thing from contant. Rather, the constellation of thoughts we take to be an "I" is but an illusion of a separate self. Isn't the breath, i.e. the life force of the body, far more grounded and constant in terms of a persons being and becoming in the world?
