The Four Fields of Mindfulness (Chapter I)

I

The following are the words that I have heard the Buddha teach, while still residing Kammasadhamma, in a village of the Kuru. One day the Blessed One called the mendicants: "Monsieur!" The mourners said, "Well, there we are." The Buddha said, "This is the only way to help beings achieve purity, to overcome defilements, to eliminate suffering, to attain enlightenment, and to attain Nirvana. That is the path of the four spells. Stay in mindfulness. "

What are the four habits of staying in mindfulness?

1. Hey seniors! The mendicant abides in body contemplation, mindfulness, clarity, and alertness, leaving out all lust and despair for life.

2. Hey seniors! The mendicant abides in mindfulness of sensation in sensation, ardent, discerning and awake, leaving out all lust and despair for life.

3. Hey seniors! The mendicant abides in mind consciousness, ardent, wise and alert, out of all desire and despair for life.

4. Hey seniors! The mendicant abides contemplating the object of consciousness in the object of consciousness, delicate, clear and mindful, out of all desire and despair for life.

Hey seniors! How do the novices abide in body contemplation in the body?

The seeker goes to a forest, or to a tree, or to an empty house, sit down in a lotus position, keep himself upright and establish mindfulness in front of him. He breathes in with a clear mind that he is breathing in. He exhales with a clear mind that he is exhaling. Breathing in a long breath, he realizes that we are breathing in a long breath. Breathing out a long breath, he realizes that we are breathing out a short breath. Breathing out a short breath, he realizes that we are breathing out a short breath. Just as a long turn, the skilled craftsman realizes that he is rotating a long ring, and when he turns a short round, realizes that he is rotating a short round. Whenever you breathe in a long breath, be aware that you are breathing in a long breath, each time you exhale a long breath, aware that you are breathing out a long breath, The consciousness is breathing in a short breath, when one exhales a short breath, conscious of breathing out a short breath. He practices by himself: "I'm breathing in and have a clear sense of my whole body." "I was breathing out and having a clear sense of my whole body. "I was breathing in and making my body function calm." "I was exhaling and working in my body became calm."

In so doing, he dwells in contemplating the body in the body, or contemplating inside, or contemplating the outside of the body, or contemplating both inside and outside. He dwells in mindfulness of the process of arising in the body, or meditates on the process of destruction in the body, or contemplates both the arising process and the process of destruction in the body. Or he is contemplating: "There is a body here," enough to contemplate and be aware of the presence of that body, and as such, he resides freely, free from anything in Life is busy. Body contemplation is so, ladies and gentlemen.

When walking, the mendicant also realizes that he is walking, standing, aware that he is standing, sitting, aware that he is sitting, lying down, aware that he is lying. Whatever body is being used in the way, he is also aware of that posture of the body. "

In so doing, the mendicant dwells in mindfulness of the body in the body, or contemplation within, or contemplation outside the body, or contemplating both inside and outside. He dwells in mindfulness of the process of arising in the body, or meditates on the process of destruction in the body, or contemplates both the arising process and the process of destruction in the body. Or he is contemplating: "There is a body here," enough to contemplate and be aware of the presence of that body, and as such, he resides freely, free from anything in Life is busy. The mendicant in mind body is like that, ladies and gentlemen.

When walking to and fro, the mendicant also applies his illuminated sense of that going forward or backward, when he looks ahead, bends over, stretches, and then he applies the illusion of clarity. When he wears a cassock, he carries the bowl, he also implements the consciousness, when eating rice, drinking water, chewing food, tasting food, he also applies that sense of clarity, when he goes When he is walking, standing, sleeping, sitting, sleeping, awake, talking, or silent, he also implements the consciousness in himself .

In so doing, the mendicant abides in mindfulness of the body, or contemplation within, or meditates beyond that body, or contemplates both inside and outside of the body. He rests in mindfulness of the process of arising in the body, or contemplates the process of physical destruction, or contemplates both the process of arising and the destruction of the body. Or he is contemplating: "There is a body here," enough to contemplate and be aware of the presence of that body, and as such, he resides freely, free from anything in Life is busy. The mourner mindfulness of the body in the body is like that, ladies and gentlemen.

"The mendicant contemplates this body itself from the heels upwards and from the top of the hair downward, enveloped by a layer of skin and filled with many kinds of impurities: this is my body, this is my hair. Meat, veins, bone, marrow, kidney, heart, liver, larynx, spleen, lung, intestine, intestinal membrane, feces, bile, sputum, blood, sweat, Fat, honey, fat, saliva, water, joints and urine.

"Mendicants! For example, there is a sack full of grains, such as brown rice, marinated rice, green beans, sesame seeds, sesame, white rice and two sacks that can open. A person with good eyes, when opening the bag, see all the seeds contained in the bag. Hey this is brown rice, rice, that is this is rice, this is green beans, this is beans, this is sesame seeds, this is white rice. Likewise, when observing the body itself, the mendicant sees everything from his heels to the top of his head, and from the top of his head down to the heels, covered with a layer of skin and filled with many kinds of bodies. This is hair, this is hair, nails, teeth, skin, meat, tendons, bone, marrow, kidney, heart, liver, lymph nodes, spleen, lungs, intestines, Intestines, feces, bile, sputum, blood, sweat, fat, bile, fat, saliva, fluid, joints and urine.

"In that way, the mendicant abides in mindfulness of the body in the body, or contemplation within, or contemplation outside the body, or contemplating both inside and outside. He dwells in mindfulness of the process of arising in the body, or meditates on the process of destruction in the body, or contemplates both the arising process and the process of destruction in the body. Or he is contemplating: "There is a body here," enough to contemplate and be aware of the presence of that body, and as such, he resides freely, free from anything in Life is busy. The mendicant in mind body is like that, you "

"Again, you mendicants! In any posture of this body, the mendicant also contemplates the elements that make up the body itself: "In this body there is a soil element, a water element, a fire element, and a factor hours".

"Like a skilled butcher or an apprentice, killing an ox and sitting in the crossroads and slicing the cow in half, the mendicant, too, in any posture of his body, Also contemplate on the elements that make up the body itself: "In this body there is a soil element, a water element, a fire element, and a wind factor."

"In that way, the mendicant abides in mindfulness of the body in the body, or contemplation within, or contemplation outside the body, or contemplating both inside and outside. He dwells in mindfulness of the process of arising in the body, or meditates on the process of destruction in the body, or contemplates both the arising process and the process of destruction in the body. Or he is contemplating: "There is a body here," enough to contemplate and be aware of the presence of that body, and as such, he resides freely, free from anything in Life is busy. The mendicant in mind body is like that, you "

"As if seeing a corpse thrown into the graveyard that has been dying for a day, two or three days, blue, corrupt, the novitiate reflects on that truth in his own body: Our body is the same here, too, so there is no way out. "

"In that way, the mendicant abides in mindfulness of the body in the body, or contemplation within, or contemplation outside the body, or contemplating both inside and outside. He dwells in mindfulness of the process of arising in the body, or meditates on the process of destruction in the body, or contemplates both the arising process and the process of destruction in the body. Or he is contemplating: "There is a body here," enough to contemplate and be aware of the presence of that body, and as such, he resides freely, free from anything in Life is busy. The mendicant in mind body is like that, you "

Then, as if a corpse was thrown in the graveyard, crowded, hawks, vultures and wild wolves were eaten, and the marshal, the mendicant, Body: our body is the same here too, will also become like, no way out escape "

"In that way, the mendicant abides in mindfulness of the body in the body, or contemplation within, or contemplation outside the body, or contemplating both inside and outside. He dwells in mindfulness of the process of arising in the body, or meditates on the process of destruction in the body, or contemplates both the arising process and the process of destruction in the body. Or he is contemplating: "There is a body here," enough to contemplate and be aware of the presence of that body, and as such, he resides freely, free from anything in Life is busy. The mendicant in mind body is like that, you "

"And as if a corpse was cast in the grave, only a skeleton with little meat and blood, the bones were joined together by the fibers ..."

"And as if a corpse was cast in the grave, only a skeleton, no meat, but still bloody, the bones were joined together by the fibers ..."

"As if seeing a dead body cast in the grave, only one skeleton, no meat and no blood, the bones were joined together by the fibers. "

"And then saw a corpse drowning in the grave, there was only a pile of broken bones, here was the bones, the bones were the bones, the bones there, the bones there, the bones there. Buttocks, spine and skull ... "

"And then there was a corpse left in the graveyard, only a shell of white shells ..."

"Then saw a corpse thrown away in the graveyard, leaving only a pile of dry bones, for more than a year on the beach ..."

"Then, as if a corpse was thrown out of the grave, there was only a piece of bones that was dissolved into dust ... the mendicant contemplating that truth in his own body: Will become like, no way out escape "

"In that way, the mendicant abides in mindfulness of the body in the body, or contemplation within, or contemplation outside the body, or contemplating both inside and outside. He rests in mindfulness of the process of arising in the body, or contemplates the process of physical destruction, or contemplates both the process of arising and the destruction of the body. Or he is contemplating: "There is a body here," enough to contemplate and be aware of the presence of that body, and as such, he resides freely, free from anything in Life is busy. The mendicant in mind body is like that, you "
