At Sāvatthī.
तत्र खो आयस्मा अनुरुद्धो भिक्खू आमन्तेसि: “आवुसो भिक्खवो”ति।
Tatra kho āyasmā anuruddho bhikkhū āmantesi: “āvuso bhikkhavo”ti.
There Venerable Anuruddha addressed the bhikkhus: “Friends, bhikkhus!”
“आवुसो”ति खो ते भिक्खू आयस्मतो अनुरुद्धस्स पच्चस्सोसुं। आयस्मा अनुरुद्धो एतदवोच:
“Āvuso”ti kho te bhikkhū āyasmato anuruddhassa paccassosuṁ. Āyasmā anuruddho etadavoca:
“Friend,” they replied. Anuruddha said this:
“चत्तारोमे, आवुसो, सतिपट्ठाना भाविता बहुलीकता तण्हाक्खयाय संवत्तन्ति। कतमे चत्तारो? इधावुसो, भिक्खु काये कायानुपस्सी विहरति …पे… वेदनासु …पे… चित्ते …पे… धम्मेसु धम्मानुपस्सी विहरति आतापी सम्पजानो सतिमा, विनेय्य लोके अभिज्झादोमनस्सं—इमे खो, आवुसो, चत्तारो सतिपट्ठाना भाविता बहुलीकता तण्हाक्खयाय संवत्तन्ती”ति।
“Cattārome, āvuso, satipaṭṭhānā bhāvitā bahulīkatā taṇhākkhayāya1 saṁvattanti. Katame cattāro? Idhāvuso, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī viharati …pe… vedanāsu …pe… citte …pe… dhammesu dhammānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ—ime kho, āvuso, cattāro satipaṭṭhānā bhāvitā bahulīkatā taṇhākkhayāya saṁvattantī”ti.
“Friends, when these four kinds of mindfulness meditation are developed and cultivated they lead to the ending of craving. What four? It’s when a bhikkhu meditates by observing an aspect of the body … feelings … mind … principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world. When these four kinds of mindfulness meditation are developed and cultivated they lead to the ending of craving.”
