The 7 Factors of Awakening are the Buddha’s list of qualities that need to be developed in order to fully awaken. This eight-week series begins with an overview of all 7 Factors followed by a discussion of each individually in greater depth over the coming weeks. Besides exploring them theoretically, James encourages us to take them on as practices as we go through the weeks seeing how we can consciously cultivate them and bring them into our daily lives. The seven factors are:
- Mindfulness
- Interest/investigation
- Energy/effort
- Joy/rapture
- Calm/tranquility
- Concentration
- Equanimity

Second talk in an 8-week series on the 7 Factors of Awakening that began with an overview March 10. James highly recommended the booklet
The Power of Mindfulness by Nyanaponika Thera as a precise and concise guide for "tidying the mental household."
The talk ends with a homework assignment for the week.
