The Buddha teaches on the seven awakening factors regarding missed out, guiding mendicants to develop mindfulness through equanimity for the ending of defilements.
“Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, satta bojjhaṅgā viraddhā, viraddho tesaṁ ariyo maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī. Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, satta bojjhaṅgā āraddhā, āraddho tesaṁ ariyo maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī. Katame satta? Satisambojjhaṅgo …pe… upekkhāsambojjhaṅgo— yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, ime satta bojjhaṅgā viraddhā, viraddho tesaṁ ariyo maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī. Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, ime satta bojjhaṅgā āraddhā, āraddho tesaṁ ariyo maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī”ti.
Aṭṭhamaṁ.
