Excerpt

From the beginning of this dialog with Ven. Anālayo, my contention has been that the word sati, usually translated as “mindfulness” in English, is constrained in meaning by its etymological heritage, that is, the Vedic word smṛti meaning “memory” or “remembrance.” There is only one definition of sati in the canon attributable to the Buddha, and there it is defined in terms of memory with wisdom (sati-nepakkena).
