Are the Four Guardian Meditations found as a single teaching in the suttas? Thank you
1. Buddhanussati – recollection virtues of the Buddha
The Buddha is unfailingly pure. Because of his unexcelled Awakening, and because he trains others to awaken, he is known as the Awakened/Awakening One.
2. Mettabhavana – loving kindness
All living beings — human, non-human, & animal — who are searching for happiness: May they all be happy and, through their happiness, secure.
3. Asubha – contemplation of the 32 parts of the body
This conglomeration of things from dead bodies, like hair of the head & hair of the body: The body as a whole is disgusting and, in terms of such things as its colors, unclean.
4. Maranasati – contemplation of death
Death, the destruction of the faculty of life, will come to all beings. Death is certain, but life is not.
