“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.
