Buddhism·7 of 14·Source ↗

At Sāvatthī. There Venerable Anuruddha addressed the mendicants: “Reverends, mendicants!” “Reverend,” they replied. Anuruddha said this: “Reverends, when these four kinds of mindfulness meditation are developed and cultivated they lead to the ending of craving. What four? It’s when a mendicant meditates by observing an aspect of the body … feelings … mind … principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world. When these four kinds of mindfulness meditation are developed and cultivated they lead to the ending of craving.”
