· Ananda's Teaching
Ananda asked the Buddha about four matters before the Buddha entered Nirvana. [...] The second question was where the Buddha’s disciples should dwell, and the Buddha told them to dwell in the Four Applications of Mindfulness: mindfulness with regard to the body, feelings, thoughts, and dharmas. The Four Applications of Mindfulness: Contemplate the body as impure. Contemplate feelings as suffering. Contemplate thoughts as impermanent. Contemplate dharmas as without self.
