Abstract
My own curiosity urged me to start writing this article. I wish to know about buddhānussati which is categorized as one of the meditation methods in later Buddhist texts e.g. Visuddhimagga, where it is described as a way of setting one’s intention on “buddhaguṇa,” the Buddha’s virtue. On the other hand, the Khuddakanikāya of the Suttantapiṭaka mentions buddhānussati in a different way: setting one’s intention on “the Buddha himself,” which enable one to “see” the Buddha in his/her mind during meditation, particularly for monks who are called “saddhādhimutta.”
