47. Satipaṭṭhānasaṁyutta: On Mindfulness Meditation

IV. Not Learned From Anyone Else — SN47.34: Developed

1“Mendicants, when these four kinds of mindfulness meditation are developed and cultivated they lead to going from the near shore to the far shore.

2What four? It’s when a mendicant meditates by observing an aspect of the body — keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world. They meditate observing an aspect of feelings … mind … principles — keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.

When these four kinds of mindfulness meditation are developed and cultivated they lead to going from the near shore to the far shore.”

1"Cattārome, bhikkhave, satipaṭṭhānā bhāvitā bahulīkatā apārā pāraṁ gamanāya saṁvattanti.

2Katame cattāro? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī vihārati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ; vedanāsu … pe … citte … pe … dhammesu dhammānupassī vihārati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro satipaṭṭhānā bhāvitā bahulīkatā apārā pāraṁ gamanāya saṁvattantī"ti.

Catutthaṁ.
