[1][pts] At Sāvatthī.

"Bhikkhus, I will teach you the development of the four establishments of mindfulness.

Listen to that....

"What, bhikkhus, is the development of the four establishments of mindfulness?

Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells contemplating the body in the body, ardent, clearly comprehending, mindful, having removed covetousness and displeasure in regard to the world.

He dwells contemplating feelings in feelings ... mind in mind ... phenomena in phenomena, ardent, clearly comprehending, mindful, having removed covetousness and displeasure in regard to the world.

This, bhikkhus, is the development of the four establishments of mindfulness."
