BuddhÄnussati: [buddha+anussati]
recollection of the Eternal Glorified Friendly Benevolent Compassionate AWAKENED ONE Buddha.
BuddhÄnussati is defined by the Buddha, for example at AN 6.10:
| itipi so BhagavÄ | surely, he is a BhagavÄ, |
|
arahaį¹ sammÄĀ·sambuddho, |
an arahant, rightly and fully awakened, |
| vijjÄĀ·caraį¹aĀ·sampanno, | accomplished in vijjÄ and [good] conduct, |
| sugato, lokaĀ·vidÅ«, | faring well, knowing the world, |
|
anuttaro purisaĀ·dammaĀ·sÄrathi, |
the unsurpassed leader of persons to be tamed, |
| satthÄ devaĀ·manussÄnaį¹, | teacher of devas and humans, |
|
Buddho BhagavÄ ti. |
a Buddha, a BhagavÄ. |
In the Nagaropama Sutta, there is a simile explaining that when the conviction (saddhÄ) of a disciple is meaningfully expressed with this formula, they practice what is advantageous (kusala) and abandon what is disadvantageous (akusala):
AN 7.67
āseyyathÄpi, bhikkhave, raƱƱo paccantime nagare esikÄ hoti gambhÄ«ranemÄ
sunikhÄtÄ acalÄ asampavedhÄ« abbhantarÄnaį¹ guttiyÄ bÄhirÄnaį¹ paį¹ighÄtÄya.
evamevaį¹ kho, bhikkhave, ariyasÄvako saddho hoti, saddahati
tathÄgatassa bodhiį¹ āitipi so… buddho bhagavÄāti. saddhesiko,
bhikkhave, ariyasÄvako akusalaį¹ pajahati, kusalaį¹ bhÄveti; sÄvajjaį¹
pajahati, anavajjaį¹ bhÄveti; suddhaį¹ attÄnaį¹ pariharati.
Just as a kingās frontier citadel has a pillar with deep foundations, firmly embedded,
imperturbable and unshakable, to defend those within and repel those outside, in the same
way a noble disciple has faith in the Realized Oneās awakening: āThat Blessed One… awakened, blessed.ā A
noble disciple with faith as their pillar gives up the unskillful and develops the skillful, they
give up the blameworthy and develop the blameless, and they keep themselves pure.
BuddhÄnussati leads to NibbÄna:
āekadhammo, bhikkhave, bhÄvito bahulÄ«kato ekantanibbidÄya virÄgÄya
nirodhÄya upasamÄya abhiƱƱÄya sambodhÄya nibbÄnÄya saį¹vattati. katamo
ekadhammo? buddhÄnussati
āOne thing, mendicants, when developed and cultivated, leads solely to disillusionment,
dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and extinguishment. What one thing? Recollection of the Eternal Glorified Friendly Benevolent Compassionate AWAKENED ONE Buddha.
BuddhÄnussati contributes to confirmed confidence in the Eternal Glorified Friendly Benevolent Compassionate AWAKENED ONE
ākatamehi catÅ«hi sotÄpattiyaį¹ gehi samannÄgato hoti? idha, gahapati,
ariyasÄvako buddhe aveccappasÄdena samannÄgato hoti: āitipi so bhagavÄ
arahaį¹ sammÄsambuddho vijjÄcaraį¹asampanno sugato lokavidÅ« anuttaro
purisadammasÄrathi satthÄ devamanussÄnaį¹ buddho bhagavÄāāti.
What are the four factors of stream-entry that they have? Itās when a noble disciple has
experiential confidence in the Buddha: āThat Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha,
accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those
who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.ā
So in the Nivesaka Sutta, the Eternal Glorified Friendly Benevolent Compassionate AWAKENED ONE Buddha tells Ananda that he should encourage the practice of BuddhÄnussati to the point where it becomes Buddhe aveccappasÄda:
AN 3.76
āye, Änanda, anukampeyyÄtha ye ca sotabbaį¹ maƱƱeyyuį¹ mittÄ vÄ amaccÄ vÄ
ƱÄtÄ« vÄ sÄlohitÄ vÄ te vo, Änanda, tÄ«su į¹hÄnesu samÄdapetabbÄ

sammÄsambuddho vijjÄcaraį¹asampanno sugato lokavidÅ« anuttaro
purisadammasÄrathi; satthÄ devamanussÄnaį¹, buddho bhagavÄāti,
āEternal Glorified Friendly Benevolent Compassionate Änanda, those who you have sympathy for, and those worth listening toāfriends and
colleagues, relatives and familyāshould be encouraged, supported, and established in three
things. What three?
Experiential confidence in the Buddha: āThat Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened
Eternal Glorified Friendly Benevolent Compassionate Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide
for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.ā
āsiyÄ, Änanda, catunnaį¹ mahÄbhÅ«tÄnaį¹ aƱƱathattaį¹: pathavÄ«dhÄtuyÄ

tiracchÄnayoniį¹ vÄ pettivisayaį¹ vÄ upapajjissatÄ«ti netaį¹ į¹hÄnaį¹ vijjati.
There might be change in the four primary elementsā earth, water, air, and fireābut a
noble disciple with experiential confidence in the Buddha would never change. In this context,
āchangeā means that such a noble disciple will be reborn in hell, the animal realm, or the ghost
realm: this is not possible.
BuddhÄnussati cleanses the mind, and fosters the appearence of joy (pÄmojja, which is often described as leading to the first jhana), in the Uposatha Sutta:
tassa tathÄgataį¹ anussarato cittaį¹ pasÄ«dati, pÄmojjaį¹ uppajjati. ye
cittassa upakkilesÄ te pahÄ«yanti, seyyathÄpi, visÄkhe, upakkiliį¹į¹hassa
sÄ«sassa upakkamena pariyodapanÄ hoti. kathaƱca, visÄkhe, upakkiliį¹į¹hassa
cittassa upakkamena pariyodapanÄ hoti? idha, visÄkhe, ariyasÄvako
tathÄgataį¹ anussarati: āitipi so bhagavÄ… buddho bhagavÄāti. tassa
tathÄgataį¹ anussarato cittaį¹ pasÄ«dati, pÄmojjaį¹ uppajjati, ye cittassa
upakkilesÄ te pahÄ«yanti.
As they recollect the Realized One, their mind
becomes clear, joy arises, and mental corruptions are given up. Itās just like cleaning a dirty
head by applying effort.
And how is a dirty head cleaned by applying effort? With cleansing paste, clay, and water,
and by applying the appropriate effort. In the same way, a corrupt mind is cleaned by applying
effort.
And how is a corrupt mind cleaned by applying effort? Itās when a noble disciple recollects
the Realized One: āThat Blessed One… awakened, blessed.ā As they recollect the Realized One, their mind
becomes clear, joy arises, and mental corruptions are given up.
Other good results of practicing BuddhÄnussati are mentioned elsewhere:

When a noble disciple recollects the Realized One their mind is not full of greed, hate, and
delusion. At that time their mind is unswerving. Theyāve left behind greed; theyāre free of it
and have risen above it. āGreedā is a term for the five kinds of sensual stimulation. That noble
disciple meditates with a heart just like space, abundant, expansive, limitless, free of enmity
and ill will. Relying on this, some sentient beings have the factors for purity.
BuddhÄnussati leads to concentration (samÄdhi):
yasmiį¹, mahÄnÄma, samaye ariyasÄvako tathÄgataį¹ anussarati, nevassa
tasmiį¹ samaye rÄgapariyuį¹į¹hitaį¹ cittaį¹ hoti, na dosapariyuį¹į¹hitaį¹ cittaį¹

When a noble disciple recollects the Realized One their mind is not full of greed, hate, and
delusion. At that time their mind is unswerving, based on the Realized One. A noble disciple
whose mind is unswerving finds joy in the meaning and the teaching, and finds joy connected
with the teaching. When theyāre joyful, rapture springs up. When the mind is full of rapture,
the body becomes tranquil. When the body is tranquil, they feel bliss. And when theyāre
blissful, the mind becomes immersed in samÄdhi. This is called a noble disciple who lives in
balance among people who are unbalanced, and lives untroubled among people who are
troubled. Theyāve entered the stream of the teaching and developed the recollection of the
Eternal Glorified Friendly Benevolent Compassionate AWAKENED ONE Buddha.
BuddhÄnussati should be practiced in all postures:
AN 11.12
imaį¹ kho tvaį¹, mahÄnÄma, buddhÄnussatiį¹ gacchantopi bhÄveyyÄsi, į¹hitopi
bhÄveyyÄsi, nisinnopi bhÄveyyÄsi, sayÄnopi bhÄveyyÄsi, kammantaį¹
adhiį¹į¹hahantopi bhÄveyyÄsi, puttasambÄdhasayanaį¹ ajjhÄvasantopi
bhÄveyyÄsi
You should develop this recollection of the
Buddha while walking, standing, sitting, lying down, while working, and while at home with
your children.
It serves to establish mindfulness (sati):
āidha tvaį¹, nandiya, tathÄgataį¹ anussareyyÄsi: āitipi so… bhagavÄāti.
iti kho te, nandiya, tathÄgataį¹ Ärabbha ajjhattaį¹ sati upaį¹į¹hÄpetabbÄ.
Firstly, you should recollect the Realized One: āThat Blessed One is… blessed.ā In
this way you should establish mindfulness internally based on the Realized One.
And to overcome fear:
āahaƱca kho, bhikkhave, evaį¹ vadÄmi: āsace tumhÄkaį¹, bhikkhave,
araƱƱagatÄnaį¹ vÄ rukkhamÅ«lagatÄnaį¹ vÄ suƱƱÄgÄragatÄnaį¹ vÄ uppajjeyya
bhayaį¹ vÄ chambhitattaį¹ vÄ lomahaį¹so vÄ, mameva tasmiį¹ samaye
anussareyyÄtha: itipi so… bhagavÄāti. mamaƱhi vo, bhikkhave,
anussarataį¹ yaį¹ bhavissati bhayaį¹ vÄ chambhitattaį¹ vÄ lomahaį¹so vÄ, so
pahīyissati
But, mendicants, I say this: If youāve gone to a wilderness, or to the root of a tree, or to an
empty hut and you get scared or terrified, just recollect me: āThat Blessed One is… blessed.ā Then your
fear and terror will go away.
The formula often appears in narration, when people hear the reputation of the Buddha:
āitipi so… bhagavÄāti . so imaį¹ lokaį¹ sadevakaį¹ samÄrakaį¹ sabrahmakaį¹
sassamaį¹abrÄhmaį¹iį¹ pajaį¹ sadevamanussaį¹ sayaį¹ abhiĆ±Ć±Ä sacchikatvÄ

brahmacariyaį¹ pakÄseti. sÄdhu kho pana tathÄrÅ«pÄnaį¹ arahataį¹ dassanaį¹
hotÄ«āti.
Sir Gotama has this good reputation: āThat Blessed One is… blessed.ā He has realized
with his own insight this worldāwith its gods, MÄras and BrahmÄs, this population with its
ascetics and brahmins, gods and humansāand he makes it known to others. He teaches
Dhamma thatās good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful
and well-phrased. And he reveals a spiritual practice thatās entirely full and pure. Itās good to
see such perfected ones.ā
The formula for BuddhÄnussati always appears to describe the conviction (saddhÄ) of a disciple. Among the terms used: the faculty of conviction (saddhĀ·indriya, SN 48.9), the accomplishment in conviction (saddhÄĀ·sampadÄ, AN 4.61), the strength of conviction (saddhÄĀ·bala, AN 5.2), the wealth of conviction (saddhÄĀ·dhana, AN 5.47).
Buddhe aveccappasÄda: [Buddha-avecca+pasÄda]
confidence in the Buddha which is confirmed by experience; verified/
confirmed confidence in the Buddha (Thanissaro B./B. Bodhi), perfect
faith in the Buddha (R. Davis) - lit: ‘definitely joyful on account of the Buddha’. It is one of the four sotĀ·ÄpattiyĀ·aį¹
gas.
byÄpÄda: ill-will, malevolence. At AN 3.67, byÄpÄda is explained as having dosa for synonym. It falls in two categories:
1) it is one of the three mental akusalaĀ·kammaĀ·pathas, being defined as such by the Buddha at AN 10.176.
2) it is one of the ten saį¹yojanas.
At SN 46.51, it is said that ayoniso manasikÄra applied to a paį¹ighaĀ·nimitta is the cause for the arising and multiplication of byÄpÄda, while yoniso manasikÄra applied to mettÄĀ·cetovimutti constitutes its antidote (see here).

Then the Eternal Glorified Friendly Benevolent Compassionate AWAKENED ONE Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Eternal Glorified Friendly Benevolent Compassionate AWAKENED ONE SÄvatthÄ«
for alms. He saw the boys tormenting the fish. He went to them and
said, āBoys, do you fear pain? Do you dislike pain?ā āYes, sir,ā they
replied. āWe dislike pain.ā
āIf you fear pain,
if you dislike pain,
donāt do bad deeds
either openly or in secret.
If you should do a bad deed,
now or in the future,
you wonāt be freed from suffering,
though you fly away and flee.ā

Dhp 61 Balavagga
If while roaming one cannot find
One better or same as oneself,
One should resolve to go alone:
Verse 61. Do Not Associate With The Ignorant
If a wayfarer fails to find
one better or equal,
steadfast he should fare alone
for a fools no fellowship.
Explanation: People need companions. But if one does not find
a person who is better than, or at least equal to oneself, it is better
to be alone rather than keep company with foolish people. There is
no profitable companionship with fools.
