[634] Thus (iti), bhikkhus, the Teacher teaches the Dhamma to his disciples, being compassionate, seeking their welfare, out of compassion: "This is for your welfare; this is for your happiness." His disciples do not wish to hear, do not lend an ear, do not apply their minds to final knowledge (aññā), and they proceed having turned aside from the Teacher's instruction. Therein, bhikkhus, the Tathāgata is neither pleased nor does he feel pleasure; he dwells unsullied (anavassuta), with mindfulness (sati) and clearly comprehending (sampajāno). This, bhikkhus, is the first establishment of mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna) that the Noble One cultivates, cultivating which the Noble One is a Teacher worthy to instruct a group.
[Editions note: The Siam Raṭṭha edition reads 'attamano' here ('pleased'), as translated; some editions read 'anattamano' ('displeased') — the Siam Raṭṭha edition's own footnote records the variant. This translation follows the Siam Raṭṭha reading.]
