from: 5. A Wheel-Turning Monarch

Wise

“Sir, they speak of a one ‘wise and clever’. How is a person who is wise and clever defined?”

“Mendicant, they’re called wise and clever because they’ve developed and cultivated the seven awakening factors. What seven? The awakening factors of mindfulness, investigation of principles, energy, rapture, tranquility, immersion, and equanimity. They’re called wise and clever because they’ve developed and cultivated these seven awakening factors.”
