1"Bhikkhus, as to internal factors, I do not see any other factor that is so helpful for the arising of the seven factors of enlightenment as this: careful attention. When a bhikkhu is accomplished in careful attention, it is to be expected that he will develop and cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment. sn.v.102

And how does a bhikkhu who is accomplished in careful attention develop and cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment?

Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu develops the enlightenment factor of mindfulness, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release.

He develops the enlightenment factor of discrimination of states, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release.

He develops the enlightenment factor of energy, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release.

He develops the enlightenment factor of rapture, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release.

He develops the enlightenment factor of tranquillity, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release.

He develops the enlightenment factor of concentration, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release.

He develops the enlightenment factor of equanimity, which is based upon seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, maturing in release.

It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu who is accomplished in careful attention develops and cultivates the seven factors of enlightenment."
