This chapter contains discourses that explore sets of seven qualities, concepts, or principles foundational to the Buddha's teachings. Each sutta examines groups such as the seven factors of enlightenment, the seven kinds of wealth, or the seven types of noble persons. These teachings highlight the significance of these elements in the practice of the Dhamma and their role in supporting spiritual development. The "Book of Sevens" offers deep insights into how these grouped qualities work together to guide practitioners on the way of practice to enlightenment.
