[2][pts] At Sāvatthī.

"Bhikkhus, as to external factors, I do not see any other factor that is so helpful for the arising of the seven factors of enlightenment as this: good friendship.

When a bhikkhu has a good friend, it is to be expected that he will develop and cultivate the seven factors of enlightenment."

(/The rest as in §12./)
