The seven factors of awakening, or the seven factors of enlightenment … these are known as the Bojjanghas. But what are they? And how do you establish them in the mind? Progress from one to two to … seven? Divide them into the energetic factors, and the calming? And why?
In a half-hour prerecorded teaching, Venerable Ajahn Khemavaro will explore these seven factors and explain how you can use them to nudge your mind in a skilful direction – away from attachment and suffering, towards wholesome states and the bringing into being of the causes of happiness … of awakening / enlightenment.

All Sessions are by Donation (Dana) to the Buddhist Library. All donations to the Buddhist Library of $2 and over are tax deductible.
Dana is the traditional practice of generosity, the extending of one’s goodwill, which is fundamental to Buddhism and other spiritual traditions. Part of the dana you give goes to the teacher, to help her continue her efforts to spread the Dhamma. And part of the dana you give goes to maintain the Library so it can offer more teachings on the Dhamma in the future. It is up to each person to determine the amount of dana they’d like to offer. We understand that this is a difficult time financially for many, and people will give what they can. An appropriate dana can’t be prescribed but requires sensitivity to its intent and to the individual’s own situation, as well as awareness of the cost of organising events and supporting teachers who spread the Dhamma.
