The Buddha expounded many discourses for the development of worldly and unworldly welfares. That is because He wants all living beings to develop their both of welfares. Yet, only the person who follows the ways of development instructed by the Buddha can actually progress in his life. There is no opportunity for those who are not able to follow the ways of development by the Buddha. With regard to development, there are six factors taught by the Buddha in 闯腻迟补办补 笔腻濒颈.

Everyone wants to develop his welfare. Yet, they are not able to follow the ways and means of development. Some people usually blame their Kamma (actions) when they fail to develop saying that it is due to bad Kamma (bad actions). They find their fault in Kamma. They say that it is because of Kamma whether they develop or not. They, however, do not use diligence and reasoning or consideration for the improvement. Actually, they do not want to follow the qualifications of development.

It is the time when the Buddha was dwelling at the Jetavana monastery in 厂腻惫补迟迟丑颈. In the same time, there was a son of a wealthy man in 厂腻惫补迟迟丑颈 who was educated and learned when he was only seven years old. So, he asked his father the causes that can make to develop. His father took him to the Buddha to address questions because he himself was not able to answer the question of the son. The wealthy man addressed the Buddha the facts that his son asked him the questions about the causes of development.

The Buddha replied the request of them as follows:

There are six factors for the root of development. They are:

鈥�膧rojamicche parama帽ca 濒腻产丑补峁�, s墨la帽ca vuddh膩numata峁� suta帽ca.
顿丑补尘尘腻苍耻惫补迟迟墨 ca 补濒墨苍补迟腻 ca, atthassa 诲惫腻谤腻 pamukh膩 chaleteti.鈥�^[1]

(1) Fulfillment of good health;
(2) Observing the moral ethic or moral precepts;
(3) Following the advice or instructions of the wise;
(4) Having much knowledge;
(5) Following meritorious deeds;
(6) Accomplishment of making an effort without idleness or laziness;

These are the six conditions for the development of welfare taught by the Buddha. For the next step, let us study and discuss these conditions one after another as the ladder series.
