[108] "Therefore, Cunda, as to those teachings (dhammā) which I have taught having directly known them (abhiññā), you should all gather together and assemble in concord and, with regard to them, recite together and examine, meaning with meaning and phrasing with phrasing, so that this spiritual life (brahmacariya) may endure long and be long-lasting; and that would be for the welfare of the many, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world, for the good, welfare, and happiness of gods and humans. And what, Cunda, are those teachings which I have taught having directly known them, with regard to which you should all gather together and assemble in concord and recite together and examine, meaning with meaning and phrasing with phrasing, so that this spiritual life may endure long and be long-lasting; and that would be for the welfare of the many, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world, for the good, welfare, and happiness of gods and humans? They are these: the four establishments of mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna), the four right strivings (sammappadhāna), the four bases of spiritual power (iddhipāda), the five faculties (indriya), the five powers (bala), the seven factors of awakening (bojjhaṅga), and the noble eightfold path (magga). These indeed, Cunda, are the teachings which I have taught having directly known them, with regard to which you should all gather together and assemble in concord and recite together and examine, meaning with meaning and phrasing with phrasing, so that this spiritual life may endure long and be long-lasting; and that would be for the welfare of the many, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world, for the good, welfare, and happiness of gods and humans."
