Sathara Sathipattana Sutta
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

1. Kāyānupassanā:
The Observation of Body
1.3 Sampajañña Pabbaṁ: Section on Clear Comprehension
Puna ca paraṁ bhikkhave bhikkhu / abhikkante paṭikkante sampajānakārī hoti./ Ālokite vilokite sampajānakārī hoti./ Sammiñjite pasārite sampajānakārī hoti./ Saṅghāṭipattacīvaradhāraṇe sampajānakārī hoti./ Asite pīte khāyite sāyite sampajānakārī hoti./ Uccārapassāvakamme sampajānakārī hoti./ Gate ṭhite nisinne sutte jāgarite bhāsite tuṇhībhāve sampajānakārī hoti./
“Again, monks, a monk is fully alert when going forward and returning, • when looking ahead and looking away, • when bending and stretching his limbs, • when wearing his robes, and carrying his outer robe and bowl. He is fully alert when eating, • drinking, consuming food, and tasting. He is fully alert when defecating and urinating. He is fully alert when walking, standing, sitting, • falling asleep, waking up, talking, and keeping silent.
Iti ajjhattaṁ vā kāye kāyānupassī viharati./ Bahiddhā vā kāye kāyānupassī viharati./ Ajjhatta bahiddhā vā kāye kāyānupassī viharati./
“In this way he dwells contemplating his own body, • he dwells contemplating others’ bodies, • and he dwells contemplating both his and others’ bodies.
Samudaya dhammānupassī vā kāyasmiṁ viharati./ Vaya dhammānupassī vā kāyasmiṁ viharati./ Samudaya vaya dhammānupassī vā kāyasmiṁ viharati./
“He dwells contemplating the arising of the body, • he dwells contemplating the passing away of the body, • and he dwells contemplating the arising and passing away of the body.
Atthi kāyo’ti vā panassa sati paccupaṭṭhitā hoti./ Yāvadeva ñāṇa mattāya, patissati mattāya,/ anissito ca viharati./ Na ca kiñci loke upādiyati./
“Mindfulness, that there is a body • is simply established in him • to the extent necessary for higher knowledge and mindfulness. He dwells independent, and not clinging to anything in the world.
Evampi kho bhikkhave bhikkhu / kāye kāyānupassī viharati./
That is how monks, a monk dwells contemplating the body in body.
