The Third Discourse in Detail
487.
"There are, monks, these five faculties.
Which five?
The faith faculty, etc.
the wisdom faculty -
these, monks, are the five faculties.
Through the completeness and fulfilment of these five faculties, monks, one becomes a Worthy One; with those softer than that, one becomes an attainer of final nibbāna in the interval; with those softer than that, one becomes an attainer of final nibbāna after the interval; with those softer than that, one becomes an attainer of final nibbāna without exertion; with those softer than that, one becomes an attainer of final nibbāna through exertion; with those softer than that, one becomes an upstream-goer heading toward the Akaniṭṭha realm; with those softer than that, one becomes a once-returner; with those softer than that, one becomes a stream-enterer; with those softer than that, one becomes a follower of the Teaching; with those softer than that, one becomes a faith-follower.
Thus indeed, monks, one who fulfils the complete attains the complete, one who fulfils a portion attains a portion.
'The five faculties are not barren', monks, I say."
