iv. 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 himself note92
.
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. |
