俱舍論頌疏論本 25.55

25.55

Explanation: The sūtras say that the factors of awakening are thirty-seven, namely: the four applications of mindfulness: body, feelings, mind, and dharmas; the four right abandonings: striving to sever the two evils and striving to cultivate the two goods; the four bases of psychic power: aspiration, diligence, mind, and investigation; the five faculties and five powers: faith, diligence, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom; the seven limbs of awakening: 1. discrimination of dharmas, 2. energy, 3. joy, 4. pliancy, 5. mindfulness, 6. concentration, 7. equanimity; and the eight limbs of the noble path: 1. right effort, 2. right mindfulness, 3. right concentration, 4. right view, 5. right intention, 6. right speech, 7. right action, 8. right livelihood. These are called the thirty-seven factors of awakening. 'Bodhi' is translated here as 'awakening', because ignorance and sleepiness are both eternally severed. The knowledges of destruction and non-arising constitute the essence of this awakening. Because the thirty-seven dharmas accord with and proceed toward bodhi, they are called factors of awakening.
