[230] Bhikkhus, when one thing is developed and cultivated, ignorance (avijjā) is abandoned, true knowledge (vijjā) arises, the conceit "I am" (asmimāna) is abandoned, the latent tendencies (anusayā) come to be uprooted, and the fetters (saññojanā) are abandoned. In what one thing? In mindfulness directed to the body (kāyagatāsati). When this one thing, bhikkhus, is developed and cultivated, ignorance is abandoned, true knowledge arises, the conceit "I am" is abandoned, the latent tendencies come to be uprooted, and the fetters are abandoned.
