Friends:

What is an Idiotic, Imbecile & Moronic Fool?

A certain bhikkhu once asked the Blessed Buddha:
Venerable Sir, it is said: An idiotic fool, an idiotic fool...
In what way, Venerable Sir, can one rightly be called an idiotic fool ?
Bhikkhu, it is because one has neither developed nor cultivated these
Seven Links to Awakening that one rightly is called an idiotic fool !!!
What seven?

1: The Awareness Link to Awakening.
2: The Investigation Link to Awakening.
3: The Energy Link to Awakening.
4: The Joy Link to Awakening.
5: The Tranquillity to Awakening.
6: The Concentration Link to Awakening.
7: The Equanimity Link to Awakening.

It is because one has neither developed nor ever cultivated these
Seven Factors of Enlightenment that one is called an idiotic fool...
