    “Bhikkhus, I will now teach you the arising and the very ending of each of the Four
    Bases of Mindfulness Practice.

    “So, listen and pay careful attention to what I shall say.”

    “Yes, Bhante!”

    1. “Now what, Bhikkhus, is the arising, the very cause of the body?

    “Because of the nourishment one receives from consuming edible food, the body manifests.
    Hence, the food one continues to eat is the very condition, because of which the body arises.

    “But, with the ending of the nourishment received from edible food, the body itself comes to an
    end and ceases.

    2. “As for feelings, because of the nourishment one receives from making contact, feelings
    manifest. Hence, it is by continuously making contact with the world, that feelings arise.

    “But, with the ending of contact received from the world, feelings themselves come to an end,
    and cease.

    [page 2]
    3. “As it relates to the Citta and the various states of mind it undergoes, because of the presence
    of name and form (nāmarūpa), the mind becomes manifest, along with its various fluctuating
    states. Hence, it is by the continuous engagement with name and form, that the mind, along with
    its various states, arises.

    “But, with the ending of name and form (nāmarūpa), the Citta itself, together with its various
    states, comes to an end, and ceases.

    4. “As for the various dhammā or mind objects, because of the mental attention one gives to
    them, the various dhammā (or mind objects) manifest. After all, it is attention itself that turns
    them into ‘objects.’

    “But, it is when you stop tolerating and giving attention to the mental objects appearing in the
    mind, that they can finally come to their end and cease.”
