Katamañca, bhikkhave, satipaṭṭhānaṁ? And what is mindfulness meditation?

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassÄ« viharati ātāpÄ« sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ; It’s when a mendicant meditates by observing an aspect of the body—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world.

Idaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, satipaṭṭhānaṁ. This is called mindfulness meditation.

Katamā ca, bhikkhave, satipaį¹­į¹­hānabhāvanā? And what is the development of mindfulness meditation? The term ā€œdevelopmentā€ shows that this takes the basic practice further.

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu samudayadhammānupassÄ« kāyasmiṁ viharati, vayadhammānupassÄ« kāyasmiṁ viharati, samudayavayadhammānupassÄ« kāyasmiṁ viharati, ātāpÄ« sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ. It’s when a mendicant, with respect to the body, meditates observing the liability to originate, to vanish, and to originate and vanish—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world. This teaching on origination and vanishing is also found in DN 22:2.12, MN 10:5.2, and SN 52.1:3.1. It is explained in the Samudayasutta at SN 47.42. | The phrase samudayadhamma (ā€œliable to originateā€) is found elsewhere as the realization of stream-entry (SN 56.11:11.2), and as a noble one’s discernment of the five aggregates (SN 22.126:2.1). Since both these speak of noble realization, it is reasonable to assume the current passage does too. The suffix -dhamma indicates that this is not merely observing rise and fall, but is understanding the nature of things as dependently originated. | Grammatically, samudayadhamma would normally be read as an adjective, but here it seems necessary to construe it as a noun (ā€œliability to originateā€), a construction also used at SN 23.21. Bodhi also construes it as a noun: ā€œnature of originationā€.

Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, satipaṭṭhānabhāvanā. This is called the development of mindfulness meditation.

Katamā ca, bhikkhave, satipaṭṭhānabhāvanāgāminī paṭipadā? And what is the practice that leads to the development of mindfulness meditation?

Ayameva ariyo aį¹­į¹­haį¹…giko maggo, seyyathidaṁ—It is simply this noble eightfold path, that is:

sammādiį¹­į¹­hi, sammāsaį¹…kappo, sammāvācā, sammākammanto, sammāājÄ«vo, sammāvāyāmo, sammāsati, sammāsamādhi. right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion.
