Many Thera. teachers notably Bhikkhu Buddhadasa and those influenced by him  
believe that the split between vipassana and samadhi meditation is not true to 
 the Buddha's teachings. Basing their interpretation mainly on the 
Anapanasati  Sutta (as well as other suttas), they believe and teach one meditation   
process but with a concentration or insight emphasis at times. They think  
Bhikkhu Buddhaghosa in his Visuddhimagga was the one who broke with the original  
teachings and influenced what is sometimes taught today.
