I. Great the Fruit and Great the Profit

Thus have I heard:

Once the Exalted One was staying near Sāvatthī.

Then the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:

“Monks.”

“Yes, lord,” replied those monks to the Exalted One.

The Exalted One said:

“Monks, the idea of the skeleton, if cultivated and made much of, is of great fruit and great profit.

And how cultivated and made much of is the idea of the skeleton of great fruit and great profit?

Herein a monk cultivates the limb of wisdom that is mindfulness, accompanied by the idea of the skeleton, which is based on seclusion, on dispassion, on cessation, which ends in self-surrender.

He cultivates the limb of wisdom that is investigation of the Norm, accompanied by the idea of the skeleton, which is based on seclusion, on dispassion, on cessation, which ends in self-surrender.

II. Realization or No Return

Monks, from the cultivation and making much of the idea of the skeleton, of two fruits one may be looked for even in this very life, to wit: realization, or, if there be any substrate left, the state of non-return.
