Now at that time Venerable Mah\u0101moggall\u0101na was staying on the Vulture\u2019s Peak Mountain, and he was sick, suffering, gravely ill. Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat, went to Venerable Moggall\u0101na, sat down on the seat spread out, and said to him: \u201cI hope you\u2019re keeping well, Moggall\u0101na, I hope you\u2019re all right. I hope your pain is fading, not growing; that its fading is evident, not its growing.\u201d \u201cSir, I\u2019m not keeping well, I\u2019m not getting by. My pain is terrible and growing, not fading; its growing is evident, not its fading.\u201d \u201cMoggall\u0101na, I\u2019ve rightly explained these seven awakening factors. When developed and cultivated, they lead to direct knowledge, to awakening, and to extinguishment. What seven? The awakening factors of mindfulness, investigation of principles, energy, rapture, tranquility, immersion, and equanimity. These are the seven awakening factors that I\u2019ve rightly explained. When developed and cultivated, they lead to direct knowledge, to awakening, and to extinguishment.\u201d \u201cIndeed, Blessed One, these are awakening factors! Indeed, Holy One, these are awakening factors!\u201d That is what the Buddha said. Satisfied, Venerable Mah\u0101moggall\u0101na approved what the Buddha said. And that\u2019s how he recovered from that illness.","title":"Sick (2nd)","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":212}
