1"There are, bhikkhus, these seven accessories of concentration. What seven? Right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, and right mindfulness. One-pointedness of mind equipped with these seven factors is called noble right concentration ‘with its supports’ and ‘with its accessories.’"[n.1508] Ariyo sammāsamādhi sa-upaniso itipi saparikkhāro itipi. The "supports" (upanisā) and "accessories" (parikkhārā) are the other seven path factors. See too MN 117, III 71,22. |
