“Mendicants, a mendicant who has six qualities can’t attain strength in immersion. “Chahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu abhabbo samādhismiṁ balataṁ pāpuṇituṁ. What six? Katamehi chahi? It’s when a mendicant is not skilled in entering immersion, skilled in remaining in immersion, or skilled in emerging from immersion. And they don’t practice carefully and persistently, and they don’t do what’s suitable. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu na samādhissa samāpattikusalo hoti, na samādhissa ṭhitikusalo hoti, na samādhissa vuṭṭhānakusalo hoti, asakkaccakārī ca hoti, asātaccakārī ca, asappāyakārī ca. A mendicant who possesses these six qualities can’t attain strength in immersion. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu abhabbo samādhismiṁ balataṁ pāpuṇituṁ.
