The 7 Fruits of the
7 Links to Awakening!
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus, when the
7 Links to Awakening have been developed,
completed
and refined, the winning of the seven fruits is
indeed to be
expected.
What are the benefits of these
7 fruits?
They are, either:
1:
One attains final
knowledge early in this very life.
Or:
2: One
attains final knowledge at the moment of death.
Or:
Having destroyed the
five lower chains and spontaneously re-arisen;
3: One attains
Nibbāna in the first half of the life as a
divine brahma. Or:
4:
One attains
Nibbāna in the second half of the life in these
pure abodes. Or:
5:
One attains
Nibbāna as a
Noble
non-returner without effort. Or:
6:
One attains
Nibbāna
as a
Noble
non-returner with some effort. Or:
7: One is bound
upstream, surely heading towards the
highest
Akanittha realm.
When,
Bhikkhus, these
Seven Links to Awakening have
been thoroughly developed
and cultivated exactly in this way, these seven fruits
and
benefits may be expected....
