6: The Book of the Sixes

117. Contemplating the Body

1"Bhikkhus, without having abandoned six things, one is incapable of contemplating the body in the body. What six? Delight in work, delight in talk, delight in sleep, delight in company, not guarding the doors of the sense faculties, and being immoderate in eating. Without having abandoned these six things, one is incapable of contemplating the body in the body.

2"Bhikkhus, having abandoned six things, one is capable of contemplating the body in the body. What six? Delight in work … being immoderate in eating. Having abandoned these six things, one is capable of contemplating the body in the body."

1"Cha, bhikkhave, dhamme appahāya abhabbo kāye kāyānupassī viharituṁ. Katame cha? Kammārāmataṁ, bhassārāmataṁ, niddārāmataṁ, saṅgaṇikārāmataṁ, indriyesu aguttadvārataṁ, bhojane amattaññutaṁ. Ime kho, bhikkhave, cha dhamme appahāya abhabbo kāye kāyānupassī viharituṁ.

2Cha, bhikkhave, dhamme pahāya bhabbo kāye kāyānupassī viharituṁ. Katame cha? Kammārāmataṁ, bhassārāmataṁ, niddārāmataṁ, saṅgaṇikārāmataṁ, indriyesu aguttadvārataṁ, bhojane amattaññutaṁ. Ime kho, bhikkhave, cha dhamme pahāya bhabbo kāye kāyānupassī viharitun"ti.


Paṭhamaṁ.
