1. AmbapÄlivagga 1. In AmbapÄlÄ«ās Mango Grove
Satisutta Mindful
Ekaį¹ samayaį¹ bhagavÄ vesÄliyaį¹ viharati ambapÄlivane. At one time the Buddha was staying near VesÄlÄ« in AmbapÄlÄ«ās Mango Grove. This is an excerpt from the narrative at DN 16:2.11.5; see too SN 36.7.
Tatra kho bhagavÄ bhikkhÅ« Ämantesi: There the Buddha addressed the mendicants,
ābhikkhavoāti. āMendicants!ā
āBhadanteāti te bhikkhÅ« bhagavato paccassosuį¹. āVenerable sir,ā they replied.
BhagavÄ etadavoca: The Buddha said this:
āSato, bhikkhave, bhikkhu vihareyya sampajÄno. āMendicants, a mendicant should live mindful and aware. SampajÄna (āawareā, rendered in its noun form as āsituational awarenessā) is linguistically similar to paĆ±Ć±Ä (āwisdomā). However it is used in context as a pragmatic understanding, not liberating insight (see also DN 9:17.9, MN 122:9.5).

KathaƱca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sato hoti? And how is a mendicant mindful?
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kÄye kÄyÄnupassÄ« viharati ÄtÄpÄ« sampajÄno satimÄ, vineyya loke abhijjhÄdomanassaį¹; Itās when a mendicant meditates by observing an aspect of the bodyākeen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world.

dhammesu dhammÄnupassÄ« viharati ÄtÄpÄ« sampajÄno satimÄ, vineyya loke abhijjhÄdomanassaį¹. principlesākeen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world.
Evaį¹ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sato hoti. Thatās how a mendicant is mindful.
KathaƱca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sampajÄno hoti? And how is a mendicant aware?
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu abhikkante paį¹ikkante sampajÄnakÄrÄ« hoti, Älokite vilokite sampajÄnakÄrÄ« hoti, samiƱjite pasÄrite sampajÄnakÄrÄ« hoti, saį¹
ghÄį¹ipattacÄ«varadhÄraį¹e sampajÄnakÄrÄ« hoti, asite pÄ«te khÄyite sÄyite sampajÄnakÄrÄ« hoti, uccÄrapassÄvakamme sampajÄnakÄrÄ« hoti, gate į¹hite nisinne sutte jÄgarite bhÄsite tuį¹hÄ«bhÄve sampajÄnakÄrÄ« hoti. Itās when a mendicant acts with situational awareness when going out and coming back; when looking ahead and aside; when bending and extending the limbs; when bearing the outer robe, bowl and robes; when eating, drinking, chewing, and tasting; when urinating and defecating; when walking, standing, sitting, sleeping, waking, speaking, and keeping silent. āSituational awarenessā (sampajaƱƱa) understands the context and purpose of activities. The main examples here illustrate the activities of daily monastic life: leaving the monastery on almsround, restraint while in the town, care wearing the robes, then mindfully eating and going to the toilet. Situational awareness is, alternatively, described as the meditative practice of being aware of thoughts, feelings, and perceptions (SN 47.35). | This passage was included in the Satipaį¹į¹hÄnasutta at MN 10:8.1.
Evaį¹ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sampajÄnakÄrÄ« hoti. Thatās how a mendicant acts with situational awareness. Rather unusually, in this trope there is a different phrasing for the opening, where they are āawareā (sampajÄno) and closing, where they are an āaware-actorā (sampajÄnakÄrÄ«).
Sato, bhikkhave, bhikkhu vihareyya sampajÄno. A mendicant should live mindful and aware.
