34.7

如增一阿含經云。爾時世尊告諸比丘。當修行十法便成神通。去眾亂想至致涅槃。一謂念佛。二謂念法。三謂念眾。四謂念戒。五謂念施。六謂念天。七謂念休息。八謂念安般。九謂念身非常。十謂念死。當善修行。

As the Ekottarika-āgama says: At that time, the World-Honoured One addressed the monks: 'You should cultivate ten dharmas, and you will then achieve spiritual powers, eliminate all chaotic thoughts, and attain nirvāṇa. First is mindfulness of the Buddha. Second is mindfulness of the Dharma. Third is mindfulness of the Saṃgha. Fourth is mindfulness of the precepts. Fifth is mindfulness of giving. Sixth is mindfulness of devas. Seventh is mindfulness of cessation. Eighth is mindfulness of ānāpāna. Ninth is mindfulness of the impermanence of the body. Tenth is mindfulness of death. You should cultivate them well.'
