“Cattārome, bhikkhave, satipaṭṭhānā.
“Mendicants, there are these four kinds of mindfulness meditation.
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ;
It’s when a mendicant meditates by observing an aspect of the body—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world.
dhammesu dhammānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ.
principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world.
Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, catunnaṁ satipaṭṭhānānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā dvinnaṁ phalānaṁ aññataraṁ phalaṁ pāṭikaṅkhaṁ—
Because of developing and cultivating these four kinds of mindfulness meditation, one of two results can be expected:
diṭṭheva dhamme aññā, sati vā upādisese anāgāmitā”ti.
enlightenment in this very life, or if there’s residue left behind, non-return.”
Chaṭṭhaṁ.
