"Bhikkhus, I will teach you the path crushing the army of Māra.
Listen to that....
"And what, bhikkhus, is the path crushing the army of Māra?
It is the seven factors of enlightenment.
What seven?
The enlightenment factor of mindfulness ... the enlightenment factor of equanimity.
This is the path crushing the army of Māra"
