| 摘要 | This article aims to promote understanding of the meanings and types of the seven factors of enlightenment (sattabojjhaṇga), how we contemplate these factors according to the teachings of the Enlightened One, how they cure all sickness according to the Pāḷi Canon, and why they can cure the sickness in Theravāda Buddhist perspective. From this study, it is found that the term Bojjhaṇga isderived from two words: bodhiand aṇga. Bodhi means enlightenment or insight of the realization of the Four Noble Truths: the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. Aṇga means factors or limbs. Therefore Bojjhaṇga means the factors of enlightenment. The development of the factors of enlightenment causes the knowledge leading to wisdom and peace to arise. So these factors are called the factors of perfected knowledge. If a monk cultivates and develops the seven factors of enlightenment, he inclines to Nibbāna, tends to Nibbāna and walks towards Nibbāna. Firstly, the fi ndings show the meaning of the seven factors of enlightenment and the types of the seven factors of enlightenment. Secondly, the research examined the application of these factors by contemplation of the seven factors of enlightenment. Finally, the article touched upon two kinds of sickness, two kinds of medicines, and bojjhaṇgas as the medical healing applied by the development of these factors. Therefore the seven factors of enlightenment are one of the categories of spiritual qualities frequently mentioned by the Buddha as very benefi cial for spiritual development. |
