MN 10. Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta

[Jechbi]

Hi Row,

Sorry for not quoting the specific sutta in this forum.

I'd still be interested in knowing where to find sutta that you described in SN in which the Buddha visits a lay person and he says he has put aside greed and distress with reference to the world using satipattana. If you happen to come across a reference in the future, would you mind sending it by PM? I'll look around some, too.

Thanks.

will do- I also want to find a sutta which links up revulsion,disenchantment and cessation as an outcome of the practice of satipatthana. This is as close as I got. But I suppose the sutta that development of satipatthana as seeing arising and passing away (satipatthana vibhanga) links up with seeing anicca (see below).

As he keeps cultivating disenchantment with regard to form... feeling... perception... fabrications... consciousness, he comprehends form... feeling... perception... fabrications... consciousness. As he comprehends form... feeling... perception... fabrications... consciousness, he is totally released from form... feeling... perception... fabrications... consciousness. He is totally released from sorrows, lamentations, pains, distresses, & despairs. He is totally released, I tell you, from suffering & stress."
