Missed OutViraddhasutta

“Mendicants, whoever has missed out on the four kinds of mindfulness meditation has missed out on the noble path to the complete ending of suffering.“Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, cattāro satipaṭṭhānā viraddhā, viraddho tesaṁ ariyo maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī. Whoever has undertaken the four kinds of mindfulness meditation has undertaken the noble path to the complete ending of suffering.Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, cattāro satipaṭṭhānā āraddhā, āraddho tesaṁ ariyo maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī.
