The Foundations of Mindfulness (9)

Satipatthana Sutta 38 - 39

(2. The Five Aggregates)

38. "Again, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu abides contemplating mind-objects as mind-objects in term of the five aggregates affected by clinging. And how does a bhikkhu abides contemplating mind-objects as mind-objects in term of the five aggregates affected by clinging? Here a bhikkhu understands: 'Such is material form, such its origin, such its disappearance; such is feeling, such its origin, such its disappearance; such is perception, such its origin, such its disappearance; such are formations, such their origin, such their disappearance; such is consciousness, such its origin, such its disappearance.'
39. "In this way he abides contemplating mind-objects as mind-objects internally, externally, and both internally and externally... And he abides independent, not clinging to anything in the world. That is how a bhikkhu abides contemplating mind-objects as mind-objects in term of the five aggregate affected by clinging.
