ABSTRACT
Of the various categories of teaching on mindfulness, the four satipaWWhAnas, AnApAnasati and kAyagatA sati gain particular attention in the Canon. Suttas 10, 118 and 119 in the Majjhima NikAya are devoted to them respectively. There are also SatipaWWhAna SaSyutta and FnApAna SaSyutta in the SaSyutta NikAya. A division1 in the AXguttara NikAya is devoted to kAyagatA sati (AN I 43-46). Chapter 3 has discussed AnApAnasati in terms of the sixteen exercises, which are the major subjects in the FnApAnasati Sutta of the Majjhima NikAya and the FnApAna SaSyutta of the SaSyutta NikAya. This and the next chapters will deal with the other two categories of teaching on mindfulness.
