俱舍論疏 4.49

4.49

On the Śāstra's statement, "Mindfulness means clearly remembering an object without forgetting": the Nyāyānusāra says: "The cause of clearly remembering an object without forgetting it is called mindfulness." Commentary: By the power of mindfulness, one clearly and distinctly remembers an objective field, serving as the cause of not forgetting at a later time; it does not mean taking only past objects as its objective field.
