“Mendicants, there are these four kinds of mindfulness meditation.“Cattārome, bhikkhave, satipaṭṭhānā. What four?Katame cattāro? 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.Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ. As they do so they give up desire for the body.Tassa kāye kāyānupassino viharato yo kāyasmiṁ chando so pahīyati. When desire is given up they realize freedom from death.Chandassa pahānā amataṁ sacchikataṁ hoti.

As they do so they give up desire for feelings.Tassa vedanāsu vedanānupassino viharato yo vedanāsu chando so pahīyati. When desire is given up they realize freedom from death.Chandassa pahānā amataṁ sacchikataṁ hoti.

They meditate observing an aspect of the mind—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world.Citte cittānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ. As they do so they give up desire for the mind.Tassa citte cittānupassino viharato yo cittamhi chando so pahīyati. When desire is given up they realize freedom from death.Chandassa pahānā amataṁ sacchikataṁ hoti.

They meditate observing an aspect of principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world.Dhammesu dhammānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ. As they do so they give up desire for principles.Tassa dhammesu dhammānupassino viharato yo dhammesu chando so pahīyati. When desire is given up they realize freedom from death.”Chandassa pahānā amataṁ sacchikataṁ hotī”ti.
