anusmṛti [anussati] mindfulness. Anusmṛti is a list of subjects which a Buddhist monk should always keep in mind. Mindfulness is of six kinds

(1) mindfulness of the Buddha (buddhānusmṛti),
(2) of his doctrine (dharmānusmṛti),
(3) of his community of noble disciples (saṅghānusmṛti),
(4) of morality (śīlānusmṛti),
(5) of liberality (tyāgānusmṛti),
(6) of heavenly beings (devatānusmṛti).

     The Buddhist tradition also mentions mindfulness of death (maraṇasmṛti), of body (kāyagatānusmṛti), of breathing (ānāpānasmṛti), and of peace (upaśamānusmṛti).
