Dharma HallVolume XThe Thirty-Seven Factors of Awakening
One Verse Contains All 37
Ānanda: "Within a single verse, all 37 factors arise." The verse: "Cease all evil. Cultivate all good. Purify one's mind. This is the teaching of all Buddhas." The 37 factors aren't separate things — they're 37 facets of one diamond. Remember one thing: stop harm, start good, continuously purify. The 37 factors unfold naturally.
