Saṃyutta Nikāya - The Connected Discourses

Connected Discourses on the Establishments of Mindfulness: SN47:26 Full

1 At one time, the venerable Sariputta and the venerable Mahamoggallana and the venerable Anuruddha were dwelling at Saketa, in the Thorn Bush Grove. It so happened that in the evening time, the venerable Sariputta and the venerable Mahamoggallana, [having] emerged from seclusion, visited with the venerable Anuruddha. Upon arrival, they exchange friendly greetings with the venerable Anuruddha. Having exchanged friendly greetings and cordial talk, they sat down to one side. Having sat down to one side, the venerable Sariputta said this to the venerable Anuruddha: O friend Anuruddha, “one in higher training, one in higher training,” it is said. To what extent, O friend, is there one in higher training?

2 “One of partial enculturation of the four establishments of mindfulness, O friend, is one in higher training. Which four? Here, O friend, having put away worldly covetousness and longing, a bhikkhu abides in the body perceiving in accordance with the body as an ardent, contemplative and mindful one. Having put away worldly covetousness and longing, he abides in feelings perceiving in accordance with feelings as an ardent, contemplative and mindful one. Having put away worldly covetousness and longing, he abides in states of mind perceiving in accordance with states of mind as an ardent, contemplative and mindful one. Having put away worldly covetousness and longing, he abides in dhammas perceiving in accordance with dhammas as an ardent, contemplative and mindful one. One of partial enculturation of these four establishments of mindfulness, O friend, is one in higher training.”
