AN 1.616–627 — The Chapter on Freedom From Death

616 “Mendicants, those who don’t enjoy mindfulness of the body don’t enjoy freedom from death. Those who enjoy mindfulness of the body enjoy freedom from death.” 617 “Mendicants, those who haven’t enjoyed mindfulness of the body haven’t enjoyed freedom from death. Those who have enjoyed mindfulness of the body have enjoyed freedom from death.” 618 “Mendicants, those who have lost mindfulness of the body have lost freedom from death. Those who haven’t lost mindfulness of the body haven’t lost freedom from death.” 619 “Mendicants, those who have missed out on mindfulness of the body have missed out on freedom from death. Those who have undertaken mindfulness of the body have not missed out on freedom from death.” 620 “Mendicants, those who have neglected mindfulness of the body have neglected freedom from death. Those who have not neglected mindfulness of the body have not neglected freedom from death.” 621 “Mendicants, those who have forgotten mindfulness of the body have forgotten freedom from death. Those who haven’t forgotten mindfulness of the body haven’t forgotten freedom from death.” 622 “Mendicants, those who haven’t cultivated mindfulness of the body haven’t cultivated freedom from death. Those who have cultivated mindfulness of the body have cultivated freedom from death.” 623 “Mendicants, those who haven’t developed mindfulness of the body haven’t developed freedom from death. Those who have developed mindfulness of the body have developed freedom from death.” 624 “Mendicants, those who haven’t made much of mindfulness of the body haven’t made much of freedom from death. Those who have made much of mindfulness of the body have made much of freedom from death.” 625 “Mendicants, those who haven’t had insight into mindfulness of the body haven’t had insight into freedom from death. Those who have had insight into mindfulness of the body have had insight into freedom from death.” 626 “Mendicants, those who haven’t completely understood mindfulness of the body haven’t completely understood freedom from death. Those who have completely understood mindfulness of the body have completely understood freedom from death.” 627 “Mendicants, those who haven’t realized mindfulness of the body haven’t realized freedom from death. Those who have realized mindfulness of the body have realized freedom from death.” That is what the Buddha said. Satisfied, the mendicants approved what the Buddha said.
