“Mendicants, there are these four kinds of mindfulness meditation.

It’s when a mendicant meditates by observing an aspect of the body—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.

mind …
principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.
These are the four kinds of mindfulness meditation.

enlightenment in the present life, or if there’s something left over, non-return.”
