"The Seven Factors of Enlightenment" by Paul Harris

So called because they are the necessary mental capacities that lead to enlightenment, the way the seven factors develop through meditation is explained in this talk. Starting with the basic instruction to 'rest content in the moment and watch the arising and passing of things', the obstacles to meditation are overcome by developing each factor until equanimity is properly established. It is with all seven factors working in unison that the fetters binding us to samsara are destroyed forever.

Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity.
