SN47.42 — Samudayasutta

I will teach the origin and passing away of the four foundations of mindfulness.

Listen to this.

And what is the origin of the body?

The origin of the body is from food; with the cessation of food, there is the passing away of the body.

From the origin of contact is the origin of feelings; with the cessation of contact, there is the passing away of feelings.

From the origin of name-and-form is the origin of mind; with the cessation of name-and-form, there is the passing away of mind.

From the origin of attention is the origin of mental phenomena; with the cessation of attention, there is the passing away of mental phenomena.
