Friends:

What are the 7 Links to Awakening:

Awareness is a link to Awakening (sati-sambojjhanga).
Investigation of the states is a link to Awakening (vicaya-sambojjhanga).
Energy is a link to Awakening (viriya-sambojjhanga).
Joy is a link to Awakening (pīti-sambojjhanga).
Tranquillity is a link to Awakening (passaddhi-sambojjhanga).
Concentration is a link to Awakening (samādhi-sambojjhanga).
Equanimity is a link to Awakening (upekkhā-sambojjhanga).
These are the seven links leading to final Enlightenment...

Whose minds are well-developed
in the factors of self-awakening,
who delight in non-clinging,
relinquishing all grasping,
mind being radiant & beaming,
fermentations all stilled:
They, even in this world,
are Unbound here!
