The Discourse to Mahāmoggallāna
25.
Thus have I heard -
On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Sāvatthī in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's park.
Now at that time the Venerable Mahāmoggallāna was seated not far from the Blessed One, folding his legs crosswise, directing his body upright, with mindfulness of the body well established internally.
The Blessed One saw the Venerable Mahāmoggallāna seated not far away, folding his legs crosswise, directing his body upright, with mindfulness of the body well established internally.
Then the Blessed One, having understood this matter, at that time uttered this inspired utterance -
"With mindfulness of the body established,
Restrained in the six sense bases of contact;
A monk constantly concentrated,
Would know Nibbāna for himself." The fifth.
