Four foundations of mindfulness
The sutta organizes practice around mindfulness of body, feelings, mind, and mental objects. These four contemplations form the complete path.

6 ideas
Anapana: mindfulness of breathing
Observing the natural breath anchors attention as the entry point to insight. Steady awareness of breath stabilizes the mind.
Vedananupassana: watching sensations
Observing feelings and bodily sensations arise and pass cultivates equanimity. This is the core mechanism of Vipassana practice.
Contemplating impermanence of the body
Practices such as attention to body parts and the decaying corpse reveal anicca directly. Seeing dissolution loosens attachment.
The direct path to liberation
The discourse presents itself as ekayana, the one way leading to the end of suffering. Sustained mindfulness culminates in Nibbana.
Bare awareness without clinging
Phenomena are noted exactly as they are, with neither grasping nor aversion. Non-reactive observation is the practical stance.
