Friends: What Five things causes Awakening in this very Life?
The Blessed Buddha once said: If, Bhikkhus and Friends, anyone wishes: Oh, may I in this very life be able to eliminate the mental fermentations, and thereby come to fully experience mental release, release through understanding, by directly realizing it and make it my own! Then he should practise to perfect morality (sīla), be devoted to mental tranquillity (samatha), not neglect the mental absorptions, cultivate insight (vipassanā), and often frequent lonely, remote & peaceful places for training!
