Exceptionally
Rare is the arising of the Links
to Awakening!
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus, these exquisitely
refined & sophisticated
Seven Links to Awakening
do
never arise apart from the
appearance of a
Well-Come-Well-Gone One, an
Arahat,
a Perfectly Self-Enlightened
Buddha! They never emerge
outside the discipline of
a thus Happy & Successful One!
Which seven?
These uniquely advanced,
delicate & intricate
Seven Factors of Awakening
do never
emerge other than after the
arrival of a Tathāgata, an
Arahat, a Perfectly Self-
Enlightened Buddha! They never
emerge outside the discipline of
a Fortunate One!
