KathaƱca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sampajāno hoti? And how is a mendicant aware?

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno viditā vedanā uppajjanti, viditā upaį¹­į¹­hahanti, viditā abbhatthaṁ gacchanti. It’s when a mendicant knows feelings as they arise, as they remain, and as they go away. This is the closest thing in the Suttas to the modern meditative practices known as ā€œbare awarenessā€. Here, this meditative practice is said to be the ā€œawarenessā€ part of ā€œmindfulness and awarenessā€ (satisampajaƱƱa), as an complement to situational awareness in daily activities (SN 47.2). At DN 33:1.11.37 = AN 4.41:4.1 it is a further development of immersion leading to mindfulness and awareness, at AN 7.38:1.6 and AN 7.39:1.6 it leads to the four kinds of textual analysis, and at MN 123:22.2 it is one of the marvelous qualities of the Buddha.

Viditā vitakkā uppajjanti, viditā upaṭṭhahanti, viditā abbhatthaṁ gacchanti. They know thoughts as they arise, as they remain, and as they go away.

Viditā saññā uppajjanti, viditā upaṭṭhahanti, viditā abbhatthaṁ gacchanti. They know perceptions as they arise, as they remain, and as they go away.

Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sampajāno hoti. That’s how a mendicant is aware.

Sato, bhikkhave, bhikkhu vihareyya sampajāno. A mendicant should live mindful and aware.
