SN52:5 The Thornbush Grove (2)
- © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1At Saketa. Sitting to one side the Venerable Sāriputta said to the Venerable Anuruddha:
"Friend Anuruddha, what are the things that a bhikkhu who is beyond training should enter and dwell in?"
"Friend, Sāriputta, a bhikkhu who is beyond training should enter and dwell in the four establishments of mindfulness. What four?
Here, friend, a bhikkhu dwells contemplating the body in the body …
He dwells contemplating feelings in feelings …
He dwells contemplating mind in mind …
He dwells contemplating phenomena in phenomena,
ardent, clearly comprehending, mindful, having removed covetousness and displeasure in regard to the world.
A bhikkhu who is beyond training should enter and dwell in these four establishments of mindfulness."
1Sāketanidānaṁ. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā sāriputto āyasmantaṁ anuruddhaṁ etadavoca:
"Asekhenāvuso anuruddha, bhikkhunā katame dhammā upasampajja vihātabbā"ti?
"Asekhenāvuso sāriputta, bhikkhunā cattāro satipaṭṭhānā upasampajja vihātabbā. Katame cattāro?
Idhāvuso, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī vihārati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ; vedanāsu … pe … citte … pe … dhammesu dhammānupassī viharāhi ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ.
dhammānupassī vihārati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ– asekhenāvuso sāriputta, bhikkhunā ime cattāro satipaṭṭhānā upasampajja vihātabbā"ti.
Pañcamaṁ.
