SN.47.44. Satisutta ("Mindful")

Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")

“Mendicants, a mendicant should live mindfully. This is my instruction to you.

And how is a mendicant mindful? It’s when a mendicant meditates by observing an aspect of the body—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world. They meditate observing an aspect of feelings … mind … principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of desire and aversion for the world. That’s how a mendicant is mindful. A mendicant should live mindfully. This is my instruction to you.”
