1"Venerable sir, it is said, ‘poor, poor.’ In what way, venerable sir, is one called ‘poor’?"

"Bhikkhus, it is because one has not developed and cultivated the seven factors of enlightenment that one is called ‘poor.’ What seven?

The enlightenment factor of mindfulness,
The enlightenment factor of discrimination of states,
The enlightenment factor of energy,
The enlightenment factor of rapture,
The enlightenment factor of tranquillity,
The enlightenment factor of concentration,
The enlightenment factor of equanimity.

It is because one has not developed and cultivated these seven factors of enlightenment that one is called ‘poor.’"
