48. Indriyasaṁyutta: On the Faculties
IV. The leasure Faculty — SN48.34: Ascetics and Brahmins (1st)
- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1“Mendicants, there are these five faculties. What five? The faculties of pleasure, pain, happiness, sadness, and equanimity.
There are ascetics and brahmins who don’t truly understand the origin, ending, gratification, drawback, and escape when it comes to these five faculties. I don’t regard them as true ascetics and brahmins. Those venerables don’t realize the goal of life as an ascetic or brahmin, and don’t live having realized it with their own insight.
