1"Bhikkhus, just as various winds blow in the sky— easterly winds, westerly winds, northerly winds, southerly winds, dusty winds and dustless winds, cold winds and hot winds, gentle winds and strong winds[n.40] As at SN36:12. —

so too, when a bhikkhu develops and cultivates the factors of enlightenment,
then for him the four establishments of mindfulness go to fulfilment by development;
the four right strivings go to fulfilment by development;
the four bases for spiritual power go to fulfilment by development;
the five spiritual faculties go to fulfilment by development;
the five powers go to fulfilment by development;
the seven factors of enlightenment go to fulfilment by development.

"And how is this so?

"Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu develops the enlightenment factor of mindfulness,
develops the enlightenment factor of discrimination of states,
develops the enlightenment factor of energy,
develops the enlightenment factor of rapture,
develops the enlightenment factor of tranquillity,
develops the enlightenment factor of concentration,
develops the enlightenment factor of equanimity,
- which are based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release;
- which have as their final goal the removal of lust, the removal of hatred, the removal of delusion;
- which have the Deathless as their ground, the Deathless as their destination, the Deathless as their final goal;
- which slant, slope, and incline towards Nibbāna.

"It is in this way, bhikkhus, that when a bhikkhu develops and cultivates the factors of enlightenment,
then for him the four establishments of mindfulness go to fulfilment by development;
the four right strivings go to fulfilment by development;
the four bases for spiritual power go to fulfilment by development;
the five spiritual faculties go to fulfilment by development;
the five powers go to fulfilment by development;
the seven factors of enlightenment go to fulfilment by development."
