gÄāti vuccantÄ«āti? How are the awakening factors defined?ā
āBodhÄya saį¹vattantÄ«ti kho, bhikkhu, tasmÄ ābojjhaį¹
gÄāti vuccanti. āMendicant, theyāre called awakening factors because they lead to awakening. This is the consistent position of the Suttas: the awakening factors ālead to awakeningā. The commentarial tradition redefines them as factors present at the moment of awakening, but this idea is not found in the Suttas.
