khittasutta In Brief (1st)
āPaƱcimÄni, bhikkhave, indriyÄni. āMendicants, there are these five faculties. In this and following discourses the concern shifts from definition to spiritual potential or capacity. We see who possesses the faculties, and understand how their development relates to the stages of realization.
KatamÄni paƱca? What five?
Saddhindriyaį¹ ā¦peā¦ paƱƱindriyaį¹āThe faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom.
imÄni kho, bhikkhave, paƱcindriyÄni. These are the five faculties.
Imesaį¹ kho, bhikkhave, paƱcannaį¹ indriyÄnaį¹ samattÄ paripÅ«rattÄ arahaį¹ hoti, tato mudutarehi anÄgÄmÄ« hoti, tato mudutarehi sakadÄgÄmÄ« hoti, tato mudutarehi sotÄpanno hoti, tato mudutarehi dhammÄnusÄrÄ« hoti, tato mudutarehi saddhÄnusÄrÄ« hotÄ«āti. Someone who has completed and fulfilled these five faculties is a perfected one. If they are weaker than that, theyāre a non-returner. If they are weaker still, theyāre a once-returner. If they are weaker still, theyāre a stream-enterer. If theyāre weaker still, theyāre a follower of teachings. If theyāre weaker still, theyāre a follower by faith.ā Even the least of those on the path to stream-entry possess all five faculties to some degree. For the follower of teachings and follower by faith, see SN 25.1 and notes.
