The subject is the factors required for attaining awakening or reaching Nirvana. The factors are qualities of mind ready to be developed step-by-step in order to become awakened. This is one of the most important aspects of Buddhism and the Buddha’s teaching: The path to awakening is built out of very ordinary, day-to-day things, like mindfulness and alertness, as well outlined in Noble Eightfold Path.
