1“Mendicants, when a mendicant is grounded in one thing the five faculties become developed, well developed. What one thing? Diligence.

And what is diligence? It’s when a mendicant looks after their mind when it comes to defilements and things that stimulate defilements. As they do so the faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom are fully developed.

That’s how when a mendicant is grounded in one thing the five faculties become developed, well developed.”

1"Ekadhamme patiṭṭhitassa, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno pañcindriyāni bhāvitāni honti subhāvitāni. Katamasmiṁ ekadhamme? Appamāde.

Katamo ca bhikkhave, appamādo? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu cittaṁ rakkhati āsavesu ca sāsavesu ca dhammesu. Tassa cittaṁ rakkhato āsavesu ca sāsavesu ca dhammesu saddhindriyampi bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati. Vīriyindriyampi bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati. Satindriyampi bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati. Samādhindriyampi bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati. Paññindriyampi bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati.

Evampi kho, bhikkhave, ekadhamme patiṭṭhitassa bhikkhuno pañcindriyāni bhāvitāni honti subhāvitānī"ti.

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
