The Four Arousings of Mindfulness,
the right path, for attainment…
Contemplating internally and externally
origination and dissolution,

Abiding, contemplating…
1) Without covetousness and grief in body
for body conditioned composite…
Awareness of the body as transient, compound form.
2) Without covetousness and grief in feelings
for feelings conditioned composite…
Awareness of feelings as conditioned, reactive responses.
3) Without covetousness and grief in consciousness
for consciousness conditioned composite…
Awareness of mind as habituated, temporary moods.
4) Without covetousness and grief in phenomena

This is the only way for the purification of beings,
for overcoming sorrow and lamentation,
for the destruction of suffering and grief.
