And again, a bhikkhu while walking knows “ I am walking ”; while standing, he knows, “I am standing”; while sitting, he knows, “I am sitting”; while lying down he knows, “ I am lying down. ” To summarize, a bhikkhu should know whatever way his body is moving or placed.

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

To summarize, he is firmly mindful of the fact that only the body 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.
