Maharahulovada Sutta Maharahulovada Sutta
The Buddha and Rahula are on their way to the village for alms, and the Buddha tells Rahula that all rupa should be regarded as anatta, and not only rupa, but also the other khandhas. Rahula stops and sits under a tree meditating. Sariputta approaches and suggests that he should develop anapanasati. Later in the evening Rahula asks the Buddha how he can do this. The Buddha describes how it is done by regarding all the elements earth, water, fire, air and space, both personal and external with disgust and loathing of heart. One should not allow sensory impressions to lay hold of ones heart, just as the earth remains impassive whatever may be thrown upon it. It is so with the other elements. One should grow in loving kindness, compassion, in gladness over the welfare of others, in equanimity, contemplation of the bodys corruption, perception of the fleeting nature of things, and in the mindfulness which comes from ordered breathing.
