And how does a bhikkhu dwell perceiving again and again the mind as just the mind, not mine, not I, not self but just as phenomena?

When a mind with greed arises, a bhikkhu knows, “This is a mind with greed”;

or when a mind without greed arises, he knows, “This is a mind without greed”;

when a mind with anger arises, he knows, “This is a mind with anger”;

or when a mind without anger arises, he knows, “This is a mind without anger”;

when a mind with delusion arises, he knows, “This is a mind with delusion”;

or when a mind without delusion arises, he knows, “This is a mind without delusion”;

or when a lazy, slothful mind arises, he knows, “This is a lazy, slothful mind”;

or when a distracted mind arises, he knows, “This is a distracted mind”;

or when a developed mind arises, he knows, “This is a developed mind”;

or when an undeveloped mind arises, he knows, “This is an undeveloped mind”;

or when an inferior mind arises, he knows, “This is an inferior mind”;

or when a superior mind arises, he knows, “This is a superior mind”;

or when a concentrated mind arises, he knows, “This is a concentrated mind”;

or when an unconcentrated mind arises, he knows, “This is an unconcentrated mind”;

or when a mind temporarily free from defilements arises, he knows, “This is a mind temporarily free from defilements”;

or when a mind not free from defilements arises, he knows, “This is a mind not free from defilements”.

Thus he dwells perceiving again and again the mind as just the mind, not mine, not I, not self, but just a phenomenon, in himself; or he dwells perceiving again and again the mind as just the mind in others ; or he dwells perceiving again and again the mind as just the mind in both himself and in others. He dwells perceiving again and again the cause and the actual appearing of the mind; or he dwells perceiving gain and again the cause and the actual dissolution of the mind; or he dwells perceiving again and again both the actual appearing and dissolution of the mind with their causes.

To summarize, he is firmly mindful of the fact that only the mind exists, not a soul, a self or I. That mindfulness is just for gaining insight and mindfulness progressively. Being detached from craving and wrong views he dwells without clinging to anything in the world.

Thus, in this way a bhikkhu dwells perceiving again and again the mind as just the mind.
