34.10

第二念法者。專精念法除諸欲愛無有塵勞。渴愛之心永不復興。於欲無欲離諸結縛諸蓋之病。猶如眾香之氣。無有瑕疵亂想之念。便成神通自致涅槃。思惟不離便獲功德。是名念法。

Second, 'mindfulness of the Dharma' means with concentrated essence to be mindful of the Dharma, eliminating all desires and attachments so that there is no defiling toil; the thirsty mind of craving will never arise again. Being free of desire regarding desires, one is free from the fetters and the ailments of the hindrances, just like the scent of various incenses, free of blemishes or chaotic thoughts; one then achieves spiritual powers and of oneself attains nirvāṇa. Contemplating without departing from it, one then obtains merit. This is termed 'mindfulness of the Dharma.'
