INSIGHT REFRAIN OF THE SATIPATTHANA SUTTA
This passage is offered repeatedly in the Satiptthana Sutta with slight variation to apply to each segment of the sutta.
"In this way, in regard to the body s/he abides contemplating the body internally, or s/he abides contemplating the body externally, or s/he abides contemplating the body both internally and externally.
S/He abides contemplating the nature of arising in the body, or s/he abides contemplating the nature of passing away in the body, or s/he abides contemplating the nature of both arising and passing away in the body.
Mindfulness that 'there is a body' is established in him/her to the extent necessary for bare knowledge and continuous mindfulness.
And s/he abides independent, not clinging to anything in the world. "That is how in regard to the body s/he abides contemplating the body."
