1. The Six Faculties

A Stream-Enterer

“Mendicants, there are these six faculties.

What six?

The faculties of the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.

A noble disciple comes to truly understand these six faculties’ origin, disappearance, 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.”
