bodhyaṅga (Pāli, bojjhaṅga). A list of seven factors that lead to or constitute bodhi, or awakening. Often referred to as the seven ‘limbs of enlightenment’, the seven items are listed in Pāli sources as: (1) mindfulness (sati); (2) investigation of the Dharma (dharma-vicaya); (3) energy (viriya); (4) joy (pīti); (5) tranquillity (passaddhi); (6) meditation (samādhi); (7) equanimity (upekkhā). The seven occur as the sixth of the 37 ‘factors of enlightenment’ (bodhi-pākṣika-dharma).
