Anussati

Recollection: meditations on the Buddha, the teaching, the community, virtue, generosity, the gods, death and peace.

Also: Anussati, recollections

Early Buddhism and the Theravāda

The anussatis are recollections that bring wholesome qualities to mind. The six classic ones recall the Buddha, the Dhamma, the Saṅgha, one’s own virtue, one’s generosity and the qualities of the gods; mindfulness of death, of the body, of breathing and of peace are added to make ten. They suit those of faithful temperament.
