The Foundations Of Mindfulness

Mahasatipatthana Sutta

Contemplation of Mind


And how, monks, does a monk abides contemplating mind as mind?

Here, a monk

a lustful mind as lustful,
a mind free from lust as free from lust;

a hating mind as hating,
a mind free from hate as free from hate;

a deluded mind as deluded,
an undeluded mind as undeluded;

a contracted mind as contracted,
a distracted mind as distracted;

a developed mind as developed,
an undeveloped mind as undeveloped;

a surpassed mind as surpassed,
an unsurpassed mind as unsurpassed;

a concentrated mind as concentrated,
an unconcentrated mind as unconcentrated;

a liberated mind as liberated,
an unliberated mind as unliberated.



(Insight)

So he abides contemplating mind as mind internally,
contemplating mind as mind externally,
contemplating mind as mind both internally and externally.

He abides contemplating arising phenomena in the mind,
He abides contemplating vanishing phenomena in the mind,
He abides contemplating both arising and vanishing phenomena in the mind.

Or else, mindfulness that "there is a mind" is present to him
just to the extent necessary for the knowledge and awareness.
And he abides independent, not clinging to anything in the world.
And that, monks, is how a monk abides contemplating mind as mind.
