What is a Clever, Intelligent
& Wise One?
A certain bhikkhu once asked the
Blessed Buddha:
Venerable Sir, it is said: Clever and wise, clever and wise...
In what way, Venerable Sir, can one rightly be called clever and wise?
Bhikkhu, it is because one has indeed developed and cultivated these
Seven Links to Awakening that one rightly is called clever
and wise..
What seven?
1:
The Awareness
Link to
Awakening.
2:
The
Investigation Link to Awakening.
3:
The Energy
Link to
Awakening.
4:
The Joy Link
to Awakening.
5:
The Tranquillity to Awakening.
6:
The
Concentration
Link to
Awakening.
7:
The
Equanimity Link
to Awakening.
It is because one has indeed
developed and made much of these
Seven Factors of Enlightenment that one is called
clever and wise...
