[1][pts] "Bhikkhus, these seven factors of enlightenment, when developed and cultivated, lead to utter revulsion, to dispassion, to cessation, to peace, to direct knowledge, to enlightenment, to Nibbāna.

What seven?

The enlightenment factor of mindfulness ... the enlightenment factor of equanimity.

These seven factors of enlightenment ... lead to Nibbāna."
