1. About Māra

A Stream-Enterer

At Sāvatthī.

When Venerable Rādha was seated to one side, the Buddha said to him:

“Rādha, there are these five grasping aggregates.

What five?

The grasping aggregates of form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness.

When a noble disciple truly understands these five grasping aggregates’ origin, disappearance, gratification, drawback, and escape,

they’re called a noble disciple who is a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, assured, destined for awakening.”
