48. Indriyasaṁyutta: On the Faculties
VII. Leading to Awakening — SN48.66: Seven Benefits
- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1“Mendicants, there are these five faculties. What five? The faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom. These are the five faculties.
Because of developing and cultivating these five faculties, seven fruits and benefits can be expected. What seven?
They attain enlightenment early on in this very life. If not, they attain enlightenment at the time of death. If not, with the ending of the five lower fetters, they’re extinguished between one life and the next … they’re extinguished upon landing … they’re extinguished without extra effort … they’re extinguished with extra effort … they head upstream, going to the Akaniṭṭha realm.
Because of developing and cultivating these five faculties, these seven fruits and benefits can be expected.”
1"Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, indriyāni. Katamāni pañca? Saddhindriyaṁ … pe … paññindriyaṁ – imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañcindriyāni.
Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ indriyānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā satta phalā sattānisaṁsā pāṭikaṅkhā. Katame satta phalā sattānisaṁsā?
Diṭṭheva dhamme paṭikacca aññaṁ ārādheti, no ce diṭṭheva dhamme paṭikacca aññaṁ ārādheti, atha maraṇakāle aññaṁ ārādheti. No ce diṭṭheva dhamme aññaṁ ārādheti, no ce maraṇakāle aññaṁ ārādheti, atha pañcannaṁ orambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ parikkhayā antarāparinibbāyī hoti, upahaccaparinibbāyī hoti, asaṅkhāraparinibbāyī hoti, sasaṅkhāraparinibbāyī hoti, uddhaṁsoto hoti akaniṭṭhagāmī.
Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ indriyānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā ime satta phalā sattānisaṁsā pāṭikaṅkhā"ti.
Chaṭṭhaṁ.
