The Ending of Craving

At Sāvatthī.
There Venerable Anuruddha addressed the mendicants:
 “Reverends, mendicants!”
“Reverend,” they replied.
Anuruddha said this:
 “Reverends, when these four kinds of mindfulness meditation are developed and cultivated they lead to the ending of craving.
 What four?
 It’s when a mendicant meditates by observing an aspect of the body …
 feelings …
 mind …
 principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world.
 When these four kinds of mindfulness meditation are developed and cultivated they lead to the ending of craving.”
