The Discourse on the Cessation of Craving
208.
"Monks, whatever path, whatever practice leads to the cessation of craving, develop that path, develop that practice.
And what, monks, is the path, and what is the practice that leads to the cessation of craving?
That is to say -
the seven factors of enlightenment.
Which seven?
The enlightenment factor of mindfulness, etc.
the enlightenment factor of equanimity.
And how, monks, are the seven factors of enlightenment developed, how are they cultivated, so that they lead to the cessation of craving?
"Here, monks, a monk develops the enlightenment factor of mindfulness, based upon seclusion, based upon dispassion, based upon cessation, maturing in release, etc. He develops the enlightenment factor of equanimity, based upon seclusion, based upon dispassion, based upon cessation, maturing in release. Thus developed, monks, the seven factors of enlightenment, thus cultivated, lead to the cessation of craving." The seventh.
