5: The Book of the Fives

XXVI. Ordination — AN 5.252: Who Should Give Dependence

1“Mendicants, dependence should be given by a mendicant with five qualities. What five? It’s a mendicant who has the entire spectrum of an adept’s ethics, immersion, wisdom, freedom, and the knowledge and vision of freedom. Dependence should be given by a mendicant with these five qualities.”

1"Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgatena bhikkhunā nissayo dātabbo. Katamehi pañcahi? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu asekhena sīlakkhandhena samannāgato hoti … pe … asekhena vimuttiñāṇadassanakkhandhena samannāgato hoti. Imehi … pe … nissayo dātabbo"ti.
