This episode concludes our seven part series on the Seven Factors of Awakening as taught by the historic buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. The complete list of factors is as follows:

…

The seven factors of awakening (bojjhaṅga)

1. Mindfulness (sati)

2. Investigation (dhamma-vicaya)

3. Energy (vīriya)

4. Rapture (pīti)

5. Tranquility (passaddhi)

6. Concentration (samādhi)

7. Equanimity (upekkhā)

They are traditionally thought of in three groups:

• One balancing factor: Mindfulness

• Three energizing factors: Investigation, Energy, and Rapture

• Three calming factors: Tranquility, Concentration, and Equanimity
