The Deathless

At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, you should meditate with your mind firmly established in the four kinds of mindfulness meditation.
Don’t let the deathless escape you.

mind …
principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world.
You should meditate with your mind firmly established in the four kinds of mindfulness meditation.
Don’t let the deathless escape you.”
