Buddha said :

"Again, Udayi, I have declared to my disciples the method for developing the fivefold powers.

The bhikkhu develops the power of faith leading to appeasement and emancipiation.

The bhikkhu develops the power of effort leading to appeasement and emancipiation.

The bhikkhu develops the power of mindfulness leading to appeasement and emancipiation.

The bhikkhu develops the power of concentration leading to appeasement and emancipiation.

The bhikkhu develops the power of wisdom leading to appeasement and emancipiation.
Thus too my disciples abide aiming perfect knowledge for emancipation.

Again, Udaayi, I have declared to my disciples the method for developing the seven enlightnment factors.

The bhikkhu develops the enlightenment factor mindfulness settled in seclusion, for detachment and cessation ending in relinquishment.

The bhikkhu develops the enlightenment factor investigation into the Teaching settled in seclusion, for detachment and cessation ending in relinquishment.

The bhikkhu develops the enlightenment factor effort settled in seclusion, for detachment and cessation ending in relinquishment.

The bhikkhu develops the enlightenment factor, joy settled in seclusion, for detachment and cessation ending in relinquishment.

The bhikkhu develops the enlightenment factor, delight settled in seclusion, for detachment and cessation ending in relinquishment.

The bhikkhu develops the enlightenment factor, concentration, settled in seclusion, for detachment and cessation ending in relinquishment.

The bhikkhu develops the enlightenment factor, equanimity settled in seclusion, for detachment and cessation ending in relinquishment.

Thus too my disciples abide aiming perfect knowledge for emancipation." MN 77
