Ariya Sutta
“Monks,
These four foundations of awareness,
When developed and cultivated
are wise and liberating.
And they lead those who train in them
to the Complete Calming of Tension[1].
What four?
Here monks,
(1) A monk abides observing body as body
Intent[2], present and fully aware.
Leaving behind longing and discontent
in regard to the things of this world.
(2) He abides observing feeling as feeling,
Intent, present and fully aware,
Leaving behind longing and discontent
in regards to the things of this world.
(3) He abides observing mind as mind,
Intent, present and fully aware,
Leaving behind longing and discontent
in regards to the things of this world.
(4) He abides observing dhamma as dhamma,
Intent, present and fully aware.
Leaving behind longing and discontent
in regards to the things of this world.
Thus monks,
these four foundations of awareness,
when developed and cultivated
are wise and liberating.
And they lead those who train in them
to the Complete Calming of Tension.
