factors of awakening
This page is from my personal notes, and has not been specifically reviewed for public consumption. It might be incomplete, wrong, outdated, or stupid. Caveat lector.In Dan Brown's telling, these are:
- mindfulness ([sati](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindfulness(Buddhism))_): paying attention to the task at hand
- metacognitive intelligence. know what's happening in your mind and how to direct it, without explicit thought. (I think this is a take on analysis of qualities' or dhamma vicaya)
- balanced energy (viriya)
- lightheartedness. be lighthearted in situations that would suggest heavy thoughts and self-doubt. go about your daily life but don't be overwhelmed by it. (this seems to be a take on 'rapture' or pīti)
- calmness of mind (passaddhi)
- concentration ([samādhi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam%C4%81dhi(Buddhism))_)
- equanimity (upekkha)
