"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 power of faith, the power of energy, the power of mindfulness, the power of concentration, the power of wisdom, 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, etc.
an unsurpassed field of merit for the world."
