“Cattārome, bhikkhave, satipaṭṭhānā.
“Mendicants, there are these four kinds of mindfulness meditation.
Katame cattāro?
What four?
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ.
It’s when a mendicant meditates by observing an aspect of the body—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world.
Tassa kāye kāyānupassino viharato kāyo pariññāto hoti.
As they do so they completely understand the body.

When the body is completely understood they realize freedom from death.
