SN48:26 Stream-Enterer
- © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1"Bhikkhus, there are these six faculties. What six?
The eye faculty, the ear faculty, the nose faculty, the tongue faculty, the body faculty, the mind faculty.[n.208] Spk: It is the eye and a faculty in the sense of controlling or dominating the phenomena arisen in the eye door, thus the "eye faculty." The same method in regard to the ear, etc.
"When, bhikkhus, a noble disciple understands as they really are the gratification, the danger, and the escape in the case of these six faculties, then he is called a noble disciple who is a stream-enterer, no longer bound to the nether world, fixed in destiny, with enlightenment as his destination."
1"Chayimāni, bhikkhave, indriyāni. Katamāni cha? Cakkhundriyaṁ … pe … manindriyaṁ.
Yato kho, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako imesaṁ channaṁ indriyānaṁ samudayañca atthaṅgamañca assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti – ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako sotāpanno avinipātadhammo niyato sambodhiparāyaṇo"ti.
Chaṭṭhaṁ.
