SN 46.45 Wise – Paññavantasutta

 

“Sir they speak of a person who is ‘wise, no idiot’.

“‘Paññavā aneḷamūgo, paññavā aneḷamūgo’ti, bhante, vuccati.

How is a person who is wise, no idiot defined?”

Kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, ‘paññavā aneḷamūgo’ti vuccatī”ti?

“Bhikkhu, they’re called wise, no idiot because they’ve developed and cultivated the seven awakening factors.

“Sattannaṁ kho, bhikkhu, bojjhaṅgānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā ‘paññavā aneḷamūgo’ti vuccati.

What seven?

Katamesaṁ sattannaṁ?

The awakening factors of mindfulness, investigation of principles, energy, rapture, tranquility, samādhi, and equanimity.

Satisambojjhaṅgassa …pe… upekkhāsambojjhaṅgassa—

They’re called wise, no idiot because they’ve developed and cultivated these seven awakening factors.”

imesaṁ kho, bhikkhu, sattannaṁ bojjhaṅgānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā ‘paññavā aneḷamūgo’ti vuccatī”ti.
