In Detail (3rd) TatiyavitthÄrasutta
āMendicants, there are these five faculties. āPaƱcimÄni, bhikkhave, indriyÄni. What five? KatamÄni paƱca? The faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom. Saddhindriyaį¹ ā¦pe⦠paƱƱindriyaį¹āThese are the five faculties. imÄni kho, bhikkhave, paƱcindriyÄni.
Someone who has completed and fulfilled these five faculties is a perfected one. If they are weaker than that, theyāre one who is extinguished between one life and the next ⦠one who is extinguished upon landing ⦠one who is extinguished without extra effort ⦠one who is extinguished with extra effort ⦠one who heads upstream, going to the Akaniį¹į¹ha realm ⦠a once-returner ⦠a stream-enterer ⦠a follower of teachings ⦠a follower by faith. Imesaį¹ kho, bhikkhave, paƱcannaį¹ indriyÄnaį¹ samattÄ paripÅ«rattÄ arahaį¹ hoti, tato mudutarehi antarÄparinibbÄyÄ« hoti, tato mudutarehi upahaccaparinibbÄyÄ« hoti, tato mudutarehi asaį¹ khÄraparinibbÄyÄ« hoti, tato mudutarehi sasaį¹ khÄraparinibbÄyÄ« hoti, tato mudutarehi uddhaį¹soto hoti akaniį¹į¹hagÄmÄ«, tato mudutarehi sakadÄgÄmÄ« hoti, tato mudutarehi sotÄpanno hoti, tato mudutarehi dhammÄnusÄrÄ« hoti, tato mudutarehi saddhÄnusÄrÄ« hoti.
So, mendicants, if you practice fully you succeed fully. If you practice partially you succeed partially. Iti kho, bhikkhave, paripÅ«raį¹ paripÅ«rakÄrÄ« ÄrÄdheti, padesaį¹ padesakÄrÄ« ÄrÄdheti. But in any case, these five faculties are not a waste, I say.ā āAvaƱjhÄni tvevÄhaį¹, bhikkhave, paƱcindriyÄnÄ«āti vadÄmÄ«āti.
