Dear Dhamma friends!
I am looking for Pali script (well, actually in Devanagari) for awareness and equanimity, sati and upekkha.

have you looked at wikipedia? they sometimes have the script in the article but not in all cases.
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

"Others will misconstrue reality due to their personal perspectives, doggedly holding onto and not easily discarding them; We shall not misconstrue reality due to our own personal perspectives, nor doggedly holding onto them, but will discard them easily. This effacement shall be done."

Thank you! I found script for upekkha, but I'm still a bit confused for sati. Is Sanskrit smrti the same as sati?

Hi Ana,
Devanagari script was invented in the 12th century, and has nothing to do with Pali.
The oldest preserved inscriptions in language very close to Pali (Hathigumpha and Girnar Asokan edict) were made in Brahmi script.
