Exceptionally
Rare is the arising of the Links
to Awakening!
The Blessed
Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus, the
exquisitely
refined and sophisticated
7 Links to Awakening
do
never arise apart from the
appearance of a
Well-Come-Well-Gone One,
an
Arahant,
a Perfectly Self-Enlightened
Buddha! They never emerge
outside
the discipline of
a thus Happy and Successful One!
Which seven?
1: The
Awareness
Link
to
Awakening:
sati-sambojjhanga.
2: The
Investigation
Link to Awakening:
dhammavicaya-sambojjhanga.
3: The
Energy
Link
to
Awakening:
viriya-sambojjhanga.
4: The
Joy
Link to Awakening:
pīti-sambojjhanga.
5: The
Tranquillity
Link to
Awakening:
passaddhi-sambojjhanga.
6:
The
Concentration
Link to Awakening:
samādhi-sambojjhanga.
7: The
Equanimity
Link
to
Awakening:
upekkhā-sambojjhanga.
These uniquely advanced,
delicate and intricate
Seven Factors of Awakening
do never
emerge other than after the
arrival of a Tathāgata, an
Arahat,
a Perfectly Self-Enlightened
SammāsamBuddha! They never
emerge outside
the teaching and
discipline of a
Fortunate One...
