When they\u2019re strong they dive into the pools. Then they dive into the lakes, the streams, the rivers, and finally the ocean. There they acquire a great and abundant body. In the same way, a mendicant develops and cultivates the seven awakening factors depending on and grounded on ethics, acquiring great and abundant good qualities. And how does a mendicant develop the seven awakening factors depending on and grounded on ethics, acquiring great and abundant good qualities? It\u2019s when a mendicant develops the awakening factor of mindfulness, which relies on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripens as letting go. They develop the awakening factor of investigation of principles \u2026 They develop the awakening factor of energy \u2026 They develop the awakening factor of rapture \u2026 They develop the awakening factor of tranquility \u2026 They develop the awakening factor of immersion \u2026 They develop the awakening factor of equanimity, which relies on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripens as letting go.
