The so-called eight recollections are: first, recollection of the Buddha; second, recollection of the Dharma; third, recollection of the Saṃgha; fourth, recollection of morality; fifth, recollection of giving; sixth, recollection of the deities; seventh, recollection of inhalation and exhalation; eighth, recollection of death. These eight are all termed 'recollection' because single-mindedly focusing on an object, one remembers and retains it without forgetting; therefore it is named 'recollection'.
