The Buddha teaches on the seven awakening factors regarding disillusionment, guiding mendicants to develop mindfulness through equanimity for the ending of defilements.
“Sattime, bhikkhave, bojjhaṅgā bhāvitā bahulīkatā ekantanibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṁvattanti. Katame satta? Satisambojjhaṅgo …pe… upekkhāsambojjhaṅgo— ime kho, bhikkhave, satta bojjhaṅgā bhāvitā bahulīkatā ekantanibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṁvattantī”ti.
Dasamaṁ.
Gilānavaggo dutiyo.
Tassuddānaṁ
Pāṇā sūriyūpamā dve,
gilānā apare tayo;
Pāraṅgāmī viraddho ca,
ariyo nibbidāya cāti.
