SN 47.1 Ambapāli: STED samma sati formula, prefaced by famous statement: “Mendicants, the four kinds of mindfulness meditation are the path to convergence. They are in order to purify sentient beings, to get past sorrow and crying, to make an end of pain and sadness, to complete the procedure, and to realize extinguishment.
SN 47.2 Sato: And how is a mendicant mindful? Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sato hoti? (by practicing 4sp)
And how is a mendicant aware? Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sampajāno hoti? 3.2It’s when a mendicant acts with situational awareness when going out and coming back; when looking ahead and aside; when bending and extending the limbs; when bearing the outer robe, bowl and robes; when eating, drinking, chewing, and tasting; when urinating and defecating; when walking, standing, sitting, sleeping, waking, speaking, and keeping silent.
SN 47.3 Bhikkhu: when your ethics are well purified and your view is correct, you should develop the four kinds of mindfulness meditation in three ways, depending on and grounded on ethics. (practice 4sp internally, externally, both)
to arahanthship SN 47.4 Sālā: (name of village): all 4sp are done simultaneously with jhana samadhi:
Those mendicants who are trainees—who haven’t achieved their heart’s desire, but live aspiring to the supreme sanctuary—also meditate observing an aspect of the body—keen, aware, at one, with a clear mind, immersed in samādhi, so as to fully understand the body. Yepi te, bhikkhave, bhikkhū sekhā appattamānasā anuttaraṃ yogakkhemaṃ patthayamānā viharanti, tepi kāye kāyānupassino viharanti ātāpino sampajānā ekodibhūtā vippasannacittā samāhitā ekaggacittā, kāyassa pariññāya;

SN 47.7 Makkaṭa: 🐒 simile of monkey: always stay in 4sp, to avoid death SN 47.8 sūda: 👩🍳 🍳 The cook: simile of cook: how to use 4sp (learning the sign (nimitta))to take you into jhanas. Obtaining pleasant abiding here and now is a code phrase for the first 3 jhānas (AN 6.29), or all 4 jhānas (AN 4.41).
SN 47.9 Gilāna: buddha close to death but prolongs life SN 47.10 bhikkhun-upassaya: Nuns-quarters: How to use 4sp (and 7sb) to take you into first jhāna using V&V. Once that skill is mastered, V&V not needed to bring you into jhāna, you directly jump to "undirected development", which is equivalent to jumping to step #5 of 7sb to enter samādhi.
SN 47.11 Mahāpurisa: a great man: is one who practices 4sp
SN 47.12 Nālandā: sariputta infers that all buddhas must have used 4sp agianst 5niv to fulfill 7sb
SN 47.13 Cunda: sariputta passes. So Ānanda, be your own island, your own refuge, with no other refuge. Let the teaching be your island and your refuge, with no other refuge. Tasmātihānanda, attadīpā viharatha attasaraṇā anaññasaraṇā, dhammadīpā dhammasaraṇā anaññasaraṇā.
And how does a mendicant do this? Kathañcānanda, bhikkhu attadīpo viharati attasaraṇo anaññasaraṇo, dhammadīpo dhammasaraṇo anaññasaraṇo?
