Observing Suffering

Sattime, bhikkhave, puggalā āhuneyyā …pe… anuttaraṁ puññakkhettaṁ lokassa.
“Mendicants, these seven people are worthy of offerings dedicated to the gods, worthy of hospitality, worthy of a religious donation, worthy of greeting with joined palms, and are the supreme field of merit for the world.

Katame satta?
What seven?

Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo sabbasaṅkhāresu dukkhānupassī viharati …pe….
First, take a person who meditates observing suffering in all conditions. They perceive suffering and experience suffering. Constantly, continually, and without interruption, they apply the mind and fathom with wisdom. …”

Sattamaṁ.
