What is the Essential Foundation of Mental Purity?
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus, there are these
Four Foundations of Awareness. What four?
When a Bhikkhu keenly contemplates:
1: Any
Body just as a transient
Form...
2: Any Feeling just as a passing
Sensation...
3: Any Mind just as a momentary
Mood...
4: Any Phenomena just as a flickering
Mental State...
while always
acutely aware & clearly comprehending, he thereby removes
any urge, envy, jealousy, frustration and discontent rooted in this
world...
These are the
Four Foundations of Awareness...
