Bojjhanga Pabba (Section on Enlightenment Factors)
And
again, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells perceiving again and again the
seven factors of enlightenment (bhojjanga) as just the seven factors
of enlightenment (not mine, not I, not self, but just as phenomena).
And how, bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu dwell perceiving again and again
the seven factors of enlightenment as just the seven factors of
enlightenment?
Here
(in this teaching), bhikkhus, while the enlightenment factor of
mindfulness (sati-sambojjhanga)
note84 is present in him, a bhikkhu knows, "The
enlightenment factor of mindfulness is present in me"; or
while the enlightenment factor of mindfulness is not present in
him, he knows, "The enlightenment factor of mindfulness is
not present in me." He also knows how the enlightenment factor
of mindfulness which has not yet arisen comes to arise; and he
knows how the complete fulfillment in developing the arisen enlightenment
factor of mindfulness comes to be.note85
While
the enlightenment factor of investigation of phenomena (dhammavicaya-bhojjanga)note86
is present in him, he knows, "The enlightenment factor of
investigation of phenomena is present in me"; or while the
enlightenment factor of investigation of phenomena is not present
in him, he knows, "The enlightenment factor of investigation
of phenomena is not present in me." He also knows how the
enlightenment factor of investigation of phenomena which has not
yet arisen comes to arise; and he knows how the complete fulfillment
in developing the arisen enlightenment factor of investigation
of phenomena comes to be.
While
the enlightenment factor of effort (viriya-sambojjhanga)note87
is present in him, he knows, "The enlightenment factor of
effort is present in me", or while the enlightenment factor
of effort is not present in him, he knows, "The enlightenment
factor of effort is not present in me." He also knows how
the enlightenment factor of effort which has not yet arisen comes
to arise; and he knows how the complete fulfillment in developing
the arisen enlightenment factor of effort comes to be.
While
the enlightenment factor of rapture (piti-sambojjhanga)note88
is present in him, he knows, "The enlightenment factor of
rapture is present in me"; or while the enlightenment factor
of rapture is not present in him, he knows, "The enlightenment
factor of rapture is not present in me." He also knows how
the enlightenment factor of rapture which has not yet arisen comes
to arise; and he knows how the complete fulfillment in developing
the arisen enlightenment factor of rapture comes to be.
While
the enlightenment factor of tranquility (passadhi-sambojjhanga)note89
is present in him, he knows, "The enlightenment factor of
tranquility is present in me"; or while the enlightenment
factor of tranquility is not present in him, he knows, "The
enlightenment factor of tranquility is not present in me."
He also knows how the enlightenment factor of tranquility which
has not yet arisen comes to arise; and he knows how the complete
fulfillment in developing the arisen enlightenment factor of tranquility
comes to be.
While
the enlightenment factor of concentration (samadhi-sambojjhanga)note90
is present in him, he knows, "The enlightenment factor of
concentration is present in me"; or while the enlightenment
factor of concentration is not present in him, he knows, "The
enlightenment factor of concentration is not present in me."
He also knows how the enlightenment factor of concentration which
has not yet arisen comes to arise; and he knows how the complete
fulfillment in developing the arisen enlightenment factor of concentration
comes to be.
While
the enlightenment factor of equanimity (upekkha-sambojjhanga)note91
is present in him, he knows, "The enlightenment factor of
equanimity is present in me"; or while the enlightenment
factor of equanimity is not present in him, he knows, "The
enlightenment factor of equanimity is not present in me."
He also knows how the enlightenment factor of equanimity which
has not yet arisen comes to arise; and he knows how the complete
fulfilment in developing the arisen enlightenment factor of equanimity
comes to be.
Thus
he dwells perceiving again and again dhammas as just dhammas (not
mine, not I, not self, but just as phenomena) in himselfnote92
.
Being detached from craving and wrong views he dwells without
clinging to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, in this way
a bhikkhu dwells perceiving again and again the seven factors
of enlightenment as just the seven factors of enlightenment.
