"Monks, a monk possessed of six qualities is worthy of offerings, etc.
an unsurpassed field of merit for the world.
With which six?
With the faith faculty, the energy faculty, the mindfulness faculty, the concentration faculty, the wisdom faculty, through the elimination of the mental corruptions, realises by his own direct knowledge, in this very life, the liberation of mind and the liberation by wisdom that are free from mental corruptions and, having entered upon them, dwells in them.
Monks, a monk possessed of these six qualities is worthy of offerings, worthy of hospitality, worthy of gifts, worthy of reverential salutation, an unsurpassed field of merit for the world."
