四梵住最初起源係古印度宗教，婆羅門教相信，保持爾四種心態，就可以投生梵天，同大梵天同住。釋迦牟尼用爾個來教導弟子，希望啲弟子都可以用爾四種心態嚟修行。
The original origin of the four Brahmanas is the ancient Indian religion, and Brahmanism believes that by maintaining the four mindsets, one can be reborn as Brahma and live with the great Brahma. Shakyamuni used the individual to teach his disciples, and hoped that the disciples could also use the four attitudes to practice.
