Final Release is Fulfilled by Wisdom!

Once in
Savatthi
the Blessed
Buddha said this:
How,
Ānanda, are the
Seven Links to Awakening trained and developed
so that they fulfil
True Wisdom and
Final Release?
When a Bhikkhu,
Ānanda, develops the
Awareness Link to Awakening,
based upon seclusion, disillusion,
and ceasing, then it matures into release!
When he develops the
Investigation Link to Awakening,
based upon total
seclusion, disillusion, and ceasing, then it culminates into mental release!
When he develops the
Energy Link to Awakening,
based upon seclusion,
disillusioned disgust, and ceasing of craving, then it blossoms into release!
When he develops the
Joy Link to Awakening,
based on solitary seclusion,
detached disgust, and ceasing of craving, then it progresses into release!
When he develops the
Tranquillity Link to Awakening,
based upon complete
isolation, disillusion, and ceasing, then it comes to a climax of final
release!
When he develops the
Concentration Link to Awakening,
while alone and
reclusive, undeceived, and cooled, there is breakthrough of mental release!
When he develops the
Equanimity Link to Awakening,
based upon seclusion,
disillusioned disgust, and ceasing of all urge, then it flourishes into release!
It is,
Ānanda,
when these Seven Links to Awakening are trained
and refined
in this very way, that they fulfil the causes of
True Wisdom and
Final Release!
