At Thorny Wood (2nd)

At Sāketa.

Sāriputta said to Anuruddha:

“Reverend Anuruddha, what things should a mendicant who is an adept enter and remain in?”

“Reverend Sāriputta, a mendicant who is an adept should enter and remain in the four kinds of mindfulness meditation.

What four?

mind …

principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world.

A mendicant who is an adept should enter and remain in these four kinds of mindfulness meditation.”
