«Nāgārjuna on Mindfulness of the Buddha» consists of three extended passages from Bhikshu Dharmamitra's original annotated translations from Sino-Buddhist Classical Chinese of works written by Ārya Nāgārjuna (circa 150 CE).

All three of these passages have been selected from Tripitaka Master Kumārajīva's early Fifth Century Sanskrit-to-Chinese translations of works by Nagarjuna, as follows:

1) “The Easy Practice” — Nāgārjuna's Treatise on the Ten Grounds, Chapter 9;

2) “The Pratyutpanna Samadhi” — Nāgārjuna's Treatise on the Ten Grounds, Chapters 20–25; and

3) “Recollection of the Buddha” — Nāgārjuna's Exegesis on the Mahāprajnāpāramitā Sūtra, Chapter 1, Part 36–1”
