Where Suffering Subsides

Linked Discourses 48.2

  1. Plain Version

A Stream-Enterer (1st)

“Mendicants, there are these five faculties.

What five?

The faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom.

A noble disciple comes to truly understand these five faculties’ gratification, drawback, and escape.

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