1. THUS HAVE I HEARD. On one occasion the Blessed One was living at Sāvatthī in the Eastern Park, in the Palace of Migāra’s Mother, together with many very well known elder disciples — the venerable Sāriputta, the venerable Mahā Moggallāna, the venerable Mahā Kassapa, the venerable Mahā Kaccāna, the venerable Mahā Koṭṭhita, the venerable Mahā Kappina, the venerable Mahā Cunda, [79] the venerable Anuruddha, the venerable Revata, the venerable Ānanda, and other very well known elder disciples.
2. Now on that occasion elder bhikkhus had been teaching and instructing new bhikkhus; some elder bhikkhus had been teaching and instructing ten bhikkhus, some elder bhikkhus had been teaching and instructing twenty… thirty… forty bhikkhus. And the new bhikkhus, taught and instructed by the elder bhikkhus, had achieved successive stages of high distinction.
3. On that occasion — the Uposatha day of the fifteenth, on the full-moon night of the Pavāraṇā ceremony1115 — the Blessed One was seated in the open surrounded by the Sangha of bhikkhus. Then, surveying the silent Sangha of bhikkhus, he addressed them thus:
4. “Bhikkhus, I am content with this progress. My mind is content with this progress. So arouse still more energy to attain the unattained, to achieve the unachieved, to realise the unrealised. I shall wait here at Sāvatthī for the Komudī full moon of the fourth month.”1116
5. The bhikkhus of the countryside heard: “The Blessed One will wait there at Sāvatthī for the Komudī full moon of the fourth month.” And the bhikkhus of the countryside left in due course for Sāvatthī to see the Blessed One.
6. And elder bhikkhus still more intensively taught and instructed new bhikkhus; some elder bhikkhus taught and instructed ten bhikkhus, some elder bhikkhus taught and instructed twenty… thirty… forty bhikkhus. And the new bhikkhus, taught and instructed by the elder bhikkhus, [80] achieved successive stages of high distinction.
7. On that occasion — the Uposatha day of the fifteenth, the full-moon night of the Komudī full moon of the fourth month — the Blessed One was seated in the open surrounded by the Sangha of bhikkhus. Then, surveying the silent Sangha of bhikkhus, he addressed them thus:
8. “Bhikkhus, this assembly is free from prattle, this assembly is free from chatter. It consists purely of heartwood. Such is this Sangha of bhikkhus, such is this assembly. Such an assembly as is worthy of gifts, worthy of hospitality, worthy of offerings, worthy of reverential salutation, an incomparable field of merit for the world — such is this Sangha of bhikkhus, such is this assembly.
Such an assembly that a small gift given to it becomes great and a great gift greater — such is this Sangha of bhikkhus, such is this assembly. Such an assembly as is rare for the world to see — such is this Sangha of bhikkhus, such is this assembly.
Such an assembly as would be worth journeying many leagues with a travel-bag to see — such is this Sangha of bhikkhus, such is this assembly.
9. “In this Sangha of bhikkhus there are bhikkhus who are arahants with taints destroyed, who have lived the holy life, done what had to be done, laid down the burden, reached their own goal, destroyed the fetters of being, and are completely liberated through final knowledge — such bhikkhus are there in this Sangha of bhikkhus.
10. “In this Sangha of bhikkhus there are bhikkhus who, with the destruction of the five lower fetters, are due to reappear spontaneously [in the Pure Abodes] and there attain final Nibbāna, without ever returning from that world — such bhikkhus are there in this Sangha of bhikkhus.
11. “In this Sangha of bhikkhus there are bhikkhus who, with the destruction of three fetters and with the attenuation of lust, hate, and delusion, are once-returners, returning once to this world [81] to make an end of suffering — such bhikkhus are there in this Sangha of bhikkhus.
12. “In this Sangha of bhikkhus there are bhikkhus who, with the destruction of the three fetters, are stream-enterers, no longer subject to perdition, bound [for deliverance], headed for enlightenment — such bhikkhus are there in this Sangha of bhikkhus.
13. “In this Sangha of bhikkhus there are bhikkhus who abide devoted to the development of the four foundations of mindfulness — such bhikkhus are there in this Sangha of bhikkhus.
In this Sangha of bhikkhus there are bhikkhus who abide devoted to the development of the four right kinds of striving…
of the four bases for spiritual power…
of the five faculties…
of the five powers…
of the seven enlightenment factors…
of the Noble Eightfold Path — such bhikkhus are there in this Sangha of bhikkhus.
14. “In this Sangha of bhikkhus there are bhikkhus who abide devoted to the development of loving-kindness [82]…
of compassion…
of altruistic joy…
of equanimity…
of the meditation on foulness…
of the perception of impermanence — such bhikkhus are there in this Sangha of bhikkhus.
In this Sangha of bhikkhus there are bhikkhus who abide devoted to the development of mindfulness of breathing.
(MINDFULNESS OF BREATHING)
15. “Bhikkhus, when mindfulness of breathing is developed and cultivated, it is of great fruit and great benefit.
When mindfulness of breathing is developed and cultivated, it fulfills the four foundations of mindfulness.
When the four foundations of mindfulness are developed and cultivated, they fulfill the seven enlightenment factors.
When the seven enlightenment factors are developed and cultivated, they fulfill true knowledge and deliverance.
16. “And how, bhikkhus, is mindfulness of breathing developed and cultivated, so that it is of great fruit and great benefit?
17. “Here a bhikkhu, gone to the forest or to the root of a tree or to an empty hut, sits down; having folded his legs crosswise, set his body erect, and established mindfulness in front of him, ever mindful he breathes in, mindful he breathes out.
18. “Breathing in long, he understands:1117 ‘I breathe in long’; or breathing out long, he understands: ‘I breathe out long.’ Breathing in short, he understands: ‘I breathe in short’; or breathing out short, he understands: ‘I breathe out short.’

on that occasion a bhikkhu abides contemplating the body as a body, ardent, fully aware, and mindful, having put away covetousness and grief for the world.
I say that this is a certain body among the bodies, namely, in-breathing and out-breathing.1122
That is why on that occasion a bhikkhu abides contemplating the body as a body, ardent, fully aware, and mindful, having put away covetousness and grief for the world.

I do not say that there is the development of mindfulness of breathing for one who is forgetful, who is not fully aware.
That is why on that occasion a bhikkhu abides contemplating mind as mind, ardent, fully aware, and mindful, having put away covetousness and grief for the world.1124

Having seen with wisdom the abandoning of covetousness and grief, [85] he closely looks on with equanimity.1125

29. “And how, bhikkhus, do the four foundations of mindfulness, developed and cultivated, fulfill the seven enlightenment factors?
30. “Bhikkhus, on whatever occasion a bhikkhu abides contemplating the body as a body, ardent, fully aware, and mindful, having put away covetousness and grief for the world — on that occasion unremitting mindfulness is established in him.
On whatever occasion unremitting mindfulness is established in a bhikkhu — on that occasion the mindfulness enlightenment factor is aroused in him, and he develops it, and by development, it comes to fulfillment in him.
31. “Abiding thus mindful, he investigates and examines that state with wisdom and embarks upon a full inquiry into it. On whatever occasion, abiding thus mindful, a bhikkhu investigates and examines that state with wisdom and embarks upon a full inquiry into it — on that occasion the investigation-of-states enlightenment factor is aroused in him, and he develops it, and by development it comes to fulfillment in him.
32. “In one who investigates and examines that state with wisdom and embarks upon a full inquiry into it, tireless energy is aroused.

41. “And how, bhikkhus, do the seven enlightenment factors, developed and cultivated, fulfill true knowledge and deliverance?
42. “Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu develops the mindfulness enlightenment factor, which is supported by seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, and ripens in relinquishment.1127
He develops the investigation-of-states enlightenment factor…
the energy enlightenment factor…
the rapture enlightenment factor…
the tranquillity enlightenment factor…
the concentration enlightenment factor…
the equanimity enlightenment factor, which is supported by seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, and ripens in relinquishment.
43. “Bhikkhus, that is how the seven enlightenment factors, developed and cultivated, fulfill true knowledge and deliverance.”1128
That is what the Blessed One said. The bhikkhus were satisfied and delighted in the Blessed One’s words.
