The Foundations Of Mindfulness

Mahasatipatthana Sutta

Clear Awareness


Again, a monk,
  • when going forward or backwards,
    he is clearly aware of what he is doing,

  • in looking forward or backwards,
    he is clearly aware of what he is doing,

  • in bending or stretching,
    he is clearly aware of what he is doing,

  • in carrying his inner and outer robe and his bowl,
    he is clearly aware of what he is doing,

  • in eating, drinking, chewing and savouring,
    he is clearly aware of what he is doing,

  • in passing excrement or urine,
    he is clearly aware of what he is doing,

  • in walking, standing, sitting,
    falling asleep and waking up,
    in speaking or in staying silent,
    he is clearly aware of what he is doing.


(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.
