The Word of the BuddhaIV. The Path that Leads to the Extinction of Suffering
Fulfillment of True Knowledge and Liberation
And how do the seven factors of awakening, when cultivated and frequently practiced, fulfill true knowledge and liberation?
Here, a bhikkhu cultivates the awakening factor of mindfulness, which is supported by seclusion, supported by dispassion, supported by cessation, and culminates in complete relinquishment. He cultivates the awakening factor of investigation of states ... awakening factor of energy ... awakening factor of joy ... awakening factor of tranquility ... awakening factor of collectedness ... awakening factor of equanimity, which is supported by seclusion, supported by dispassion, supported by cessation, and culminates in complete relinquishment.
That is how the seven factors of awakening, when cultivated and frequently practiced, fulfill true knowledge and liberation.
