In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra厂尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补 (啶膏啶啶む啶啶じ啷嵿ぅ啶距え) refers to the 鈥渇oundations of mindfulness鈥� and represents one of the seven classes of the thirty-seven auxiliaries to enlightenment (产辞诲丑颈辫腻办峁办补), according to the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra chapter XXXI.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥渢he dharmas where mindfulness (蝉尘峁泃颈) is focused (耻辫补迟颈峁ａ弓丑补迟颈) on the objects of knowledge (辫谤补箩帽腻濒补尘产补苍补) are called 鈥渇oundations of mindfulness鈥� (蝉尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补)鈥�.
Also, 鈥渢hus, when the Yogin goes to the teacher (膧c膩rya) and hears the teaching on the path (尘腻谤驳补诲丑补谤尘补) from him, first he uses his mindfulness (蝉尘峁泃颈) to retain (诲丑腻谤补峁嘺) this teaching: that moment is called 鈥榝oundation of mindfulness鈥� (蝉尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补)鈥�.
In order to destroy these four mistakes, the Buddha preached the four foundations of mindfulness:
- to destroy the mistake about purity (艣耻肠颈惫颈辫补谤测腻蝉补), he preaches the foundation of mindfulness on the body (k膩ya-蝉尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补);
- to destroy the mistake on happiness (蝉耻办丑补惫颈辫补谤测腻蝉补), he preaches the foundation of mindfulness on feelings (vedan膩-蝉尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补);
- to destroy the mistake on permanence (nityavipary膩sa), he preaches mindfulness on the mind (citta-蝉尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补);
- to destroy the mistake on the self (腻迟尘补惫颈辫补谤测腻蝉补), he preaches the foundation of mindfulness on dharmas (dharma-蝉尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补).
It is for this reason that he preached four, no more and no less.
Further, the four foundations of mindfulness (蝉尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补) are of three kinds:
- mindfulness in itself (svabh膩va-蝉尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补);
- mindfulness by connection (sa峁僺arga-蝉尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补);
- mindfulness as object (膩lambana-蝉尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补).
厂尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补 (啶膏啶啶む啶啶じ啷嵿ぅ啶距え) refers to the 鈥渁pplication of awareness鈥�, according to the Gaganaga帽japarip峁沜ch膩: the eighth chapter of the Mah膩sa峁僴ip膩ta (a collection of Mah膩y膩na Buddhist S奴tras).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸...] Again, since he understands the essence of all dharmas, the recollection of the great insight is the arising of any viewpoint beyond any mental effort. Since in this way recollection is pure, the knowledge of the application of awareness (蝉尘峁泃测耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补-j帽膩na) is called the recollection of the Buddha which is taught by the Lord鈥�.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.

Note: 蝉尘峁泃测-耻辫补蝉迟丑腻苍补 is defined in the 鈥淚ndian epigraphical glossary鈥� as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
