This is the most important discourse by the Buddha on the training of mindfulness meditation, with particular attention given to developing insight.

MN 148 The Six Sets of Six - Chachakka Sutta 
A profound and penetrating discourse on the contemplation of all the factors of
sense experience as not self.

MN 148  Joshua Tree Retreat 1  Day 5  23-Feb-06   This is a very powerful and deep Sutta, and Bhante reads this as it is, with no comments, directly from the Middle Length sayings. He includes every “...” and leaves nothing out. The 6 sets of 6 are what the mind and body is comprised of, and it is all an impersonal process. By repeating each piece over and over again, with all of its sub-sets, the student will realize for himself, that he is nothing but an impersonal mix of mental and bodily factors arising and passing way.

This is an important discourse on dependent origination and the destruction of craving. After reprimanding the bhikkhu Sāti about the view he was proclaiming—that the same consciousness runs through the round of rebirths— the Buddha explains from every angle the correct way to view dependent origination, showing how all phenomena of existence arise and cease through conditions.
