These seven, well preached by the Buddha, developed and frequently bring about the highest knowledge, and Nibbana, the Enlightenment. May this truth bring you blessing all the time.

Once the Buddha, the world Protector, saw Moggallana and Kassapa, suffering from fever and severe pain. He preached the Seven Elements for Enlightenment. Both of them, raptured by his teaching, immediately recovered. May this truth bring you blessing all the time.

Once the Buddha, the Dhamma Raja, afflicted with serious illness, requested Cunda Thera to deliver a sermon of these Elements of Enlightenment, and after that He recovered. May this truth bring you blessing all the time.

All those illnesses had been got rid of by the Three Great Ones and did not return, as are all kinds of defilement destroyed by Magga, the Path. May this truth bring you blessing all the time.
