“There is one thing, monks, that cultivated and regularly practiced leads to a deep sense of urgency.…..to the supreme peace.…to mindfulness and  clear comprehension... to the attainment of right vision and knowledge...to happiness here and now...to realizing deliverance by wisdom and the fruition of Holiness. It is mindfulness of the body.
