- fdg sc © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1Then a certain bhikkhu approached the Blessed One … and said to him: |
"Venerable sir, it is said, ‘an unwise dolt, an unwise dolt.’ In what way, venerable sir, is one called ‘an unwise dolt’?" |
"Bhikkhus, it is because one has not developed and cultivated the seven factors of enlightenment that one is called ‘an unwise dolt.’ sn.v.100 What seven? The enlightenment factor of mindfulness … the enlightenment factor of equanimity. It is because one has not developed and cultivated these seven factors of enlightenment that one is called ‘an unwise dolt.’" |
