[1][pts] "Bhikkhus, I will teach you seven things that lead to non-decline.
Listen to that....
"And what, bhikkhus, are the seven things that lead to non-decline?
They are: the seven factors of enlightenment.
What seven?
The enlightenment factor of mindfulness ... the enlightenment factor of equanimity.
These are the seven things that lead to non-decline."
