At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Bhikkhū, there are these four kinds of mindfulness meditation.

“Cattārome, bhikkhave, satipaṭṭhānā.

What four?

Katame cattāro?

It’s when a bhikkhu meditates by observing an aspect of the body—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ;

They meditate observing an aspect of feelings …

vedanāsu …pe…

mind …

citte …pe…

principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.

dhammesu dhammānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ.

These are the four kinds of mindfulness meditation.”

Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro satipaṭṭhānā”ti.
