FASCINATION ABOUT SELF COMPASSION

In line with Robert Sharf, smṛti originally meant "to recollect", "to recollect", "to Remember", as inside the Vedic tradition of remembering the sacred texts. The term sati also indicates "to keep in mind". From the Satipaṭṭhāna-sutta the phrase sati signifies to keep in mind the dharmas, whereby the real character of phenomena may be seen.
