To maintain awareness of reality, in particular the teachings (Dhamma). Investigation of the nature of reality (dhamma vicaya, Skt. dharmapravicaya). Energy (viriya, Skt. vīrya) also determination, effort Joy or rapture (pīti, Skt. prīti) Relaxation or tranquility (passaddhi, Skt. prashrabdhi) of both body and mind Concentration (samādhi) a calm, one-pointed state of mind, or "bringing the buried latencies or samskaras into full view" Equanimity (upekkhā, Skt. upekshā). To accept reality as-it-is (yathā-bhuta) without craving or aversion. This evaluation of seven awakening factors is one of the "seven sets" of "awakening-related states" (bodhipakkhiyadhamma). The Pali word bojjhanga is a compound of bodhi ("awakening," "enlightenment") and anga ("factor").
