Links to Awakening!

Exceptionally Rare is the arising of the Links to Awakening!



The Blessed Buddha once said:

Bhikkhus, the exquisitely refined & sophisticated 7 Links to Awakening do
never arise apart from the appearance of a Well-Come-Well-Gone One,
an Arahat, a Perfectly Self-Enlightened Buddha! They never emerge outside
the
discipline of a thus Happy & 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 & intricate Seven Factors of Awakening
do
never emerge other than after the arrival of a Tathāgata, an Arahat,
a Perfectly Self-Enlightened Buddha! They never emerge outside the
discipline
of a Fortunate One!
