This weekend, we will explore the potential for realising the seven factors of awakening: mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, tranquillity, concentration, and equanimity. This time, the focus is on silence. From there, a path unfolds—not to achieve something, but to see what is already present. They are not goals, but qualities that exist within us, waiting to be recognised.

By remaining constantly aware of our breathing, this leads to the realisation of the seven factors, according to the Buddha. When we continue to practise these factors diligently, it leads to true wisdom and liberation—or so it is said. We will explore this based on the Anapanasati Sutta.
