If one were to have
mindfulness always
established, continually
immersed in the body,
(thinking,)
“It should not be,
it should not be mine;
it will not be,
it will not be mine”1–
there,
in that step-by-step dwelling,
one in no long time
would cross over
attachment.
Notes
1. This passage can also be translated as:
“It should not be,
it should not occur to me;
it will not be,
it will not occur to me.”
