The Foundations Of Mindfulness

Mahasatipatthana Sutta

The Four Postures


Again, a monk,
  • when walking, he knows that he is walking,

  • when standing, he knows that he is standing,

  • when sitting, he knows that he is sitting,

  • when lying down, he knows that he is lying down.
In whatever way his body is disposed, he knows that that is how it is.

(Insight)

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

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

Or else, mindfulness that "there is a body" 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 body as body.
