The Discourse on the Elimination of Craving
905.
At Sāvatthī.
There the venerable Anuruddha addressed the monks -
"Friends, monks."
"Friend," those monks assented to the venerable Anuruddha.
The venerable Anuruddha said:
"These four establishments of mindfulness, friends, when developed and cultivated, lead to the elimination of craving. Which four? Here, friends, a monk dwells observing the body in the body... etc. in feelings... etc. In mind... etc. he dwells observing mental phenomena in mental phenomena, ardent, fully aware, mindful, having removed covetousness and displeasure regarding the world - these, friends, are the four establishments of mindfulness which, when developed and cultivated, lead to the elimination of craving." The seventh.
