SN 47.44 Mindful – Satisutta
“Bhikkhū, a bhikkhu should live mindfully.
“Sato, bhikkhave, bhikkhu vihareyya.
This is my instruction to you.
Ayaṁ vo amhākaṁ anusāsanī.
And how is a bhikkhu mindful?
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sato hoti?
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.
That’s how a bhikkhu is mindful.
Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sato hoti.
A bhikkhu should live mindfully.
Sato, bhikkhave, bhikkhu vihareyya.
This is my instruction to you.”
Ayaṁ vo amhākaṁ anusāsanī”ti.
