The Seven Factors of Awakening
SN 46.3, Ethics, tr. Bhikkhu Sujato
Mapped by similarity in the English wording. Each faint dot is a sutta, placed by how alike its English wording is.
In the sutta's own order
- 1
Mindfulness
“they recollect and think about that teaching”
- 2
Investigation of principles
“investigate, explore, and inquire into that teaching with wisdom”
- 3
Energy
“their energy is roused up and unflagging”
- 4
Rapture
“rapture not of the flesh arises”
- 5
Tranquility
“the body and mind become tranquil”
- 6
Immersion
“the mind becomes immersed in samādhi”
- 7
Equanimity
“They closely watch over that mind immersed in samādhi”

What the map shows, and what it doesn't
- Mapped by similarity in the English wording.
- Translations with more similar wording tend to appear nearer.
- The faint stars are the suttas of the four main collections (DN, MN, SN, AN), one each. The seven gold stars are the seven passages of the sutta's chain, one for each factor, placed on the same map by the same measure of wording.
- A map of the suttas' wording, not of the Dhamma.
