Anussati

Anussati is a Buddhist practice that involves reflecting on certain thoughts or things. It is designed to help people feel more mindful and aware of their actions and the world around them. To practice anussati, you spend some time thinking about particular things like: impermanence, death, freedom from attachment, and compassion. It is important to remember that it is not simply focusing on these ideas, but rather spending time thinking deeply and sincerely about them and how they influence our daily lives. Anussati is thought to be beneficial because it helps people become more mindful and aware, which can lead to being more compassionate and mindful of others.
