1At Sāvatthī. There the Venerable Anuruddha addressed the bhikkhus thus: "Friends, bhikkhus!"

"Friend!" those bhikkhus replied. The Venerable Anuruddha said this:

2"Friends, these four establishments of mindfulness, when developed and cultivated, lead to the destruction of craving. What four?

---

Here, friends, 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.

---

These four establishments of mindfulness, when developed and cultivated, lead to the destruction of craving."
