55. Sotāpattisaṁyutta: On Stream-Entry
V. Overflowing Merit, With Verses — SN55.47: With Nandiya
- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1At Kapilavatthu. Seated to one side, the Buddha said to Nandiya the Sakyan:
“Nandiya, a noble disciple who has four things is a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, bound for awakening.
2What four? It’s when a noble disciple has experiential confidence in the Buddha … the teaching … the Saṅgha … And they have the ethical conduct loved by the noble ones … leading to immersion. A noble disciple who has these four things is a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, bound for awakening.”
