With Nandiya Nandiyasutta
At Kapilavatthu. Kapilavatthunidānaṁ. Seated to one side, the Buddha said to Nandiya the Sakyan: Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho nandiyaṁ sakkaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:
“Nandiya, a noble disciple who has four things is a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, bound for awakening. “catūhi kho, nandiya, dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako sotāpanno hoti avinipātadhammo niyato sambodhiparāyaṇo.
What four? Katamehi catūhi? It’s when a noble disciple has experiential confidence in the Buddha … Idha, nandiya, ariyasāvako buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgato hoti—itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti. the teaching … Dhamme …pe… the Saṅgha … saṅghe …pe… And they have the ethical conduct loved by the noble ones … leading to immersion. ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgato hoti akhaṇḍehi …pe… samādhisaṁvattanikehi. A noble disciple who has these four things is a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, bound for awakening.” Imehi kho, nandiya, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako sotāpanno hoti avinipātadhammo niyato sambodhiparāyaṇo”ti.
Sattamaṁ.
