Someone who totally and utterly lacks these five faculties stands outside in the faction of ordinary persons, I say.ā While it the five qualities of faith, etc., are found among those who are unenlightened, and even, as potential, among all beings, it is only on entering the noble path that they are considered āfacultiesā with the decisive power to overcome their opposites. | The expression āstands outside in the faction of ordinary personsā is found only here and SN 55.40:2.1. In both cases it indicates individuals who are not noble ones, but who nonetheless may be Buddhists. BÄhira (āoutsideā) here should be distinguished from the more common bÄhiraka (āoutsiderā), which refers to non-Buddhists.
