What is the relationship between the definitions of *sampajañña* (clear comprehension) in SN 47.2 and SN 47.35? From SN 47.35 (translated by Bodhi): > “And how, bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu exercise clear comprehension? Here, > bhikkhus, for a bhikkhu feelings are understood as they arise, > understood as they remain present, understood as they pass away. > Thoughts are understood as they arise, understood as they remain > present, understood as they pass away. Perceptions are understood as > they arise, understood as they remain present, understood as they pass > away. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu exercises clear > comprehension. From SN 47.2 (translated by Bodhi): > “And how, bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu exercise clear comprehension? Here, > bhikkhus, a bhikkhu is one who acts with clear comprehension when > going forward and returning; when looking ahead and looking aside; > when drawing in and extending the limbs; when wearing his robes and > carrying his outer robe and bowl; when eating, drinking, chewing his > food, and tasting; when defecating and urinating; when walking, > standing, sitting, falling asleep, waking up, speaking, and keeping > silent. It is in such a way that a bhikkhu exercises clear > comprehension.
