1 Whichever path, O bhikkhus, whichever path to tread, leads to the extinction of thirsting, that path, that path to tread, you must enculturate. But what path, O bhikkhus, what path to tread, leads to the extinction of thirsting? That is the seven factors of awakening. Which seven? The mindfulness awakening factor, the investigation of dhammas awakening factor, the energy awakening factor, the happiness awakening factor, the tranquility awakening factor, the samadhi awakening factor, the equanimity awakening factor. When thus was said, the venerable Udayi said this to the Auspicious One: “How, O Bhante, are the seven awakening factors enculturated and made abundant in order to lead to the extinction of thirsting?”

2 “Here, O Udayi, a bhikkhu enculturates the mindfulness awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction. For him enculturating the mindfulness awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction, there is the abandoning of thirsting. With the abandoning of thirsting, there is the abandoning of kamma. With the abandoning of kamma, there is the abandoning of suffering. Thus, O Udayi, from the extinction of thirsting comes the extinction of kamma. From the extinction of kamma comes the extinction of suffering.”

3 “He enculturates the investigation of dhammas awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction. For him enculturating the investigation of dhammas awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction, there is the abandoning of thirsting. With the abandoning of thirsting, there is the abandoning of kamma. With the abandoning of kamma, there is the abandoning of suffering. Thus, O Udayi, from the extinction of thirsting comes the extinction of kamma. From the extinction of kamma comes the extinction of suffering.”

4 “He enculturates the energy awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction. For him enculturating the energy awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction, there is the abandoning of thirsting. With the abandoning of thirsting, there is the abandoning of kamma. With the abandoning of kamma, there is the abandoning of suffering. Thus, O Udayi, from the extinction of thirsting comes the extinction of kamma. From the extinction of kamma comes the extinction of suffering.”

5 “He enculturates the happiness awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction. For him enculturating the happiness awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction, there is the abandoning of thirsting. With the abandoning of thirsting, there is the abandoning of kamma. With the abandoning of kamma, there is the abandoning of suffering. Thus, O Udayi, from the extinction of thirsting comes the extinction of kamma. From the extinction of kamma comes the extinction of suffering.”

6 “He enculturates the tranquility awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction. For him enculturating the tranquility awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction, there is the abandoning of thirsting. With the abandoning of thirsting, there is the abandoning of kamma. With the abandoning of kamma, there is the abandoning of suffering. Thus, O Udayi, from the extinction of thirsting comes the extinction of kamma. From the extinction of kamma comes the extinction of suffering.”

7 “He enculturates the samadhi awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction. For him enculturating the samadhi awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction, there is the abandoning of thirsting. With the abandoning of thirsting, there is the abandoning of kamma. With the abandoning of kamma, there is the abandoning of suffering. Thus, O Udayi, from the extinction of thirsting comes the extinction of kamma. From the extinction of kamma comes the extinction of suffering.”

8 “He enculturates the equanimity awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction. For him enculturating the equanimity awakening factor in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment, abundant, exalted, immeasurable, free from affliction, there is the abandoning of thirsting. With the abandoning of thirsting, there is the abandoning of kamma. With the abandoning of kamma, there is the abandoning of suffering. Thus, O Udayi, from the extinction of thirsting comes the extinction of kamma. From the extinction of kamma comes the extinction of suffering.”
