“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.
As they do so they completely understand the body.
Tassa kāye kāyānupassino viharato kāyo pariññāto hoti.
When the body is completely understood they realize the deathless.
Kāyassa pariññātattā amataṁ sacchikataṁ hoti.
They meditate observing an aspect of feelings—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.
Vedanāsu vedanānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ.
As they do so they completely understand feelings.
Tassa vedanāsu vedanānupassino viharato vedanā pariññātā honti.

Vedanānaṁ pariññātattā amataṁ sacchikataṁ hoti.

Dhammesu dhammānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ.
