1. This is the sixth post in this series. It is important to follow the series from the beginning. All posts are at: “Living Dhamma.”
▪Here I want show that what we have been discussing in this section is exactly what is recommended in the beginning of the Mahā Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta.
▪Here we will discuss the key verse, “ātāpī sampajāno, satimā vineyya loke abhijjhā domanassaṁ” that appears in the sutta numerous times. It is also the basis of the Ānāpānasati bhāvanā.
2. Many people believe that the Sutta is basically a kammaṭṭhāna that one recites or “meditate on.” But it is much more than a kammaṭṭhāna. I will provide more evidence in future posts, but here is the audio on the basics of the Mahā Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta (you may need to control the volume in your computer):
