Sn46.6 does not list any of the ways to contemplate the body in the body.....none of the reflections are mentioned.....so.....it seems that by using your logic than all of them would be additions....but I don't think that is what you are saying.James Tan wrote: ↑Sun Aug 19, 2018 5:51 am
Hi,
With regard to four establishments or foundations .
https://suttacentral.net/sn46.6/en/bodhi
Kundaliya sutta:
“Kuṇḍaliya, the Tathagata lives for the benefit and fruit of true knowledge and liberation.”
“But, Master Gotama, what things, when developed and cultivated, fulfil true knowledge and liberation?”
“The seven factors of enlightenment, Kuṇḍaliya, when developed and cultivated, fulfil true knowledge and liberation.”
“But, Master Gotama, what things, when developed and cultivated, fulfil the seven factors of enlightenment?”
“The four establishments of mindfulness, Kuṇḍaliya, when developed and cultivated, fulfil the seven factors of enlightenment.”
“But, Master Gotama, what things, when developed and cultivated, fulfil the four establishments of mindfulness?”
“The three kinds of good conduct, Kuṇḍaliya, when developed and cultivated, fulfil the four establishments of mindfulness.”

PS :
You can refer to above sutta ,
The Reflection on the Repulsiveness of the Body
The Reflection on the Material Elements
The Nine Cemetery Contemplations
Above reflection was not included in the sutta Sn46.6 .
And although one can equate the contemplation of body with Repulsiveness , Elements and
9 stages of corpse decomposition , but , note that
the Prime cause of meditation here of Repulsiveness , elements and corpses is to counter the Lust and Not to develop purely on mindfulness .
