Dear Nina, Piya and friends,

thanks.

KathaƱca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kaaye kaayaanupassii viharati?
for what reason / then / O monks / monk / in body / contemplating
body / dwells
For what reason then, monks, a monk dwells contemplating a body in
the body?

N: I would say, a collection of different physical phenomena. But
the purpose is to see them as non-self.

Can I say that literally the sentence is:
For what reason then, monks, a monk dwells contemplating a body (an
entity/a self) in the body (a collection of different physical
phenomena).

What form is 'kaayaanupassii' in?

metta,
Yong Peng
