ye keci, bhikkhave, dhammā kusalā kusala·bhāgiyā kusala·pakkhikā, sabbe te yoniso·manasikāra·mūlakā yoniso·manasikāra·samosaraṇā, yoniso·manasikāro tesaṃ dhammānaṃ aggamakkhāyati. yoniso·manasikāra·sampannass·etaṃ, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno pāṭikaṅkhaṃ satta bojjhaṅge bhāvessati, satta bojjhaṅge bahulīkarissati.

Whatever things, bhikkhus, which are advantageous, conducive to what is advantageous, siding with what is advantageous, all of them are rooted in fruitful considerations, unite in fruitful considerations, and fruitful considerations are chief among them. For a bhikkhu endowed with these fruitful considerations, bhikkhus, it is to be expected that he will develop the seven factors of awakening, that he will increase the seven factors of awakening.

kathañ·ca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu yoniso·manasikāra·sampanno satta bojjhaṅge bhāveti, satta bojjhaṅge bahulīkaroti? idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sati·sambojjhaṅgaṃ bhāveti viveka·nissitaṃ virāga·nissitaṃ nirodha·nissitaṃ vossagga·pariṇāmiṃ; dhamma·vicaya·sambojjhaṅgaṃ bhāveti viveka·nissitaṃ virāga·nissitaṃ nirodha·nissitaṃ vossagga·pariṇāmiṃ; vīriya·sambojjhaṅgaṃ bhāveti viveka·nissitaṃ virāga·nissitaṃ nirodha·nissitaṃ vossagga·pariṇāmiṃ; pīti·sambojjhaṅgaṃ bhāveti viveka·nissitaṃ virāga·nissitaṃ nirodha·nissitaṃ vossagga·pariṇāmiṃ; passaddhi·sambojjhaṅgaṃ bhāveti viveka·nissitaṃ virāga·nissitaṃ nirodha·nissitaṃ vossagga·pariṇāmiṃ; samādhi·sambojjhaṅgaṃ bhāveti viveka·nissitaṃ virāga·nissitaṃ nirodha·nissitaṃ vossagga·pariṇāmiṃ; upekkhā·sambojjhaṅgaṃ bhāveti viveka·nissitaṃ virāga·nissitaṃ nirodha·nissitaṃ vossagga·pariṇāmiṃ. evaṃ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu yoniso·manasikāra·sampanno satta bojjhaṅge bhāveti, satta bojjhaṅge bahukarotī·ti.

And how, bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu endowed with fruitful considerations develop the seven factors of awakening, increase the seven factors of awakening? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu develops mindfulness as a factor of awakening that is founded on detachment, founded on dispassion, founded on cessation, resulting in relinquishment; he develops investigation of the Dhamma as a factor of awakening that is founded on detachment, founded on dispassion, founded on cessation, resulting in relinquishment; he develops energy as a factor of awakening that is founded on detachment, founded on dispassion, founded on cessation, resulting in relinquishment; he develops exaltation as a factor of awakening that is founded on detachment, founded on dispassion, founded on cessation, resulting in relinquishment; he develops serenity as a factor of awakening that is founded on detachment, founded on dispassion, founded on cessation, resulting in relinquishment; he develops concentration as a factor of awakening that is founded on detachment, founded on dispassion, founded on cessation, resulting in relinquishment; he develops equanimity as a factor of awakening that is founded on detachment, founded on dispassion, founded on cessation, resulting in relinquishment. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu endowed with fruitful considerations develops the seven factors of awakening, increases the seven factors of awakening.
