Upavānasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Mahāvaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 19 · Section 403

[403] On one occasion the Venerable Upavāṇa and the Venerable Sāriputta were dwelling at Kosambī, in Ghosita's Park. Then, in the evening, the Venerable Sāriputta emerged from seclusion and approached the Venerable Upavāṇa; having approached, he exchanged greetings with the Venerable Upavāṇa, and when their cordial and agreeable talk, worthy of recollection, was concluded, he sat down to one side. Sitting to one side, the Venerable Sāriputta said this to the Venerable Upavāṇa: "Friend Upavāṇa, would a bhikkhu know: 'The seven factors of awakening (bojjhaṅga), thus well aroused by me through wise attention (yoniso manasikāra) applied personally, lead to dwelling in comfort'?" "Friend Sāriputta, a bhikkhu would know: 'The seven factors of awakening, thus well aroused by me through wise attention applied personally, lead to dwelling in comfort.'"
