bodhyāṅga (Pāli, bojjhaṅga). A list of seven factors that lead to or constitute bodhi, or awakening. Often referred to as the seven ‘limbs of enlightenment’, the seven items are listed in Pāli sources as:
- (1) mindfulness (sati);
- (2) investigation of the Dharma (dharma-vicaya);
- (3) energy (viriya);
- (4) joy (pīti);
- (5) tranquillity (passaddhi);
- (6) meditation (samādhi);
- (7) equanimity (upekkhā).
The seven occur as the sixth of the 37 ‘factors of enlightenment’ (bodhi-pākṣika-dharma).
