Now at that time Venerable Mahākappina was sitting not far from the Buddha, cross-legged, his body set straight, and mindfulness brought to the present.

The Buddha saw him,

Disvāna bhikkhū āmantesi:

and addressed the mendicants:

“पस्सथpas·sa·tha नोno तुम्हे,tum·he भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve एतस्सe·tas·sa भिक्खुनोbhik·khu·no कायस्सkā·yas·sa इञ्जितत्तंiñ·ji·tat·taṃ वाvā फन्दितत्तंphan·di·tat·taṃ वा”ति?vā

“Passatha no tumhe, bhikkhave, etassa bhikkhuno kāyassa iñjitattaṁ vā phanditattaṁ vā”ti?

“Mendicants, do you see any perturbation or trembling in that mendicant’s body?”

“यदापिya·dā·pi मयं,ma·yaṃ भन्ते,bhan·te तंtaṃ आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ पस्सामpas·sā·ma सङ्घमज्झेsaṅ·gha·maj·jhe वाvā निसिन्नंni·sin·naṃ एकंe·kaṃ वाvā रहोra·ho निसिन्नं,ni·sin·naṃ तदापिta·dā·pi मयंma·yaṃ तस्सtas·sa आयस्मतोā·yas·ma·to नna पस्सामpas·sā·ma कायस्सkā·yas·sa इञ्जितत्तंiñ·ji·tat·taṃ वाvā फन्दितत्तंphan·di·tat·taṃ वा”ति।vā

“Yadāpi mayaṁ, bhante, taṁ āyasmantaṁ passāma saṅghamajjhe vā nisinnaṁ ekaṁ vā raho nisinnaṁ, tadāpi mayaṁ tassa āyasmato na passāma kāyassa iñjitattaṁ vā phanditattaṁ vā”ti.

“Sir, whenever we see that mendicant meditating—whether in the middle of the Saṅgha or alone in private—we never see any perturbation or trembling in his body.”

“Mendicants, when an immersion has been developed and cultivated there’s no perturbation or trembling of the body or mind. That mendicant gets such immersion when he wants, without trouble or difficulty.

Katamassa ca, bhikkhave, samādhissa bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā neva kāyassa iñjitattaṁ vā hoti phanditattaṁ vā, na cittassa iñjitattaṁ vā hoti phanditattaṁ vā?

And what is that immersion?

When immersion due to mindfulness of breathing has been developed and cultivated there’s no perturbation or trembling of the body or mind.

And how is immersion due to mindfulness of breathing developed and cultivated in such a way?

It’s when a mendicant—gone to a wilderness, or to the root of a tree, or to an empty hut—sits down cross-legged, sets their body straight, and brings mindfulness to the present.

Just mindful, they breathe in. Mindful, they breathe out. …

‘paṭinissaggānupassī assasissāmī’ti sikkhati, ‘paṭinissaggānupassī passasissāmī’ti sikkhati.

They practice like this: ‘I’ll breathe in observing letting go.’ They practice like this: ‘I’ll breathe out observing letting go.’

That’s how immersion due to mindfulness of breathing is developed and cultivated so that there’s no perturbation or trembling of the body or mind.”
