The Ending of Craving
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.”
