The Second Discourse on Ascetics and Brahmins
505.
"There are, monks, these five faculties.
Which five?
The faculty of pleasantness, the faculty of pain, the faculty of pleasure, the faculty of displeasure, the faculty of equanimity.
Whatever ascetics or brahmins, monks, who do not understand the faculty of pleasantness, do not understand the origin of the faculty of pleasantness, do not understand the cessation of the faculty of pleasantness, do not understand the practice leading to the cessation of the faculty of pleasantness;
do not understand the faculty of pain, etc.
do not understand the faculty of pleasure, etc.
do not understand the faculty of displeasure, etc.
do not understand the faculty of equanimity, do not understand the origin of the faculty of equanimity, do not understand the cessation of the faculty of equanimity, do not understand the practice leading to the cessation of the faculty of equanimity;
they are not for me, monks, ascetics or brahmins who are considered ascetics among ascetics or considered brahmins among brahmins; and those venerable ones do not dwell having attained the goal of asceticism or the goal of the holy life in this very life, having realised by direct knowledge themselves.
"But whatever ascetics or brahmins, monks, who understand the faculty of pleasantness, understand the origin of the faculty of pleasantness, understand the cessation of the faculty of pleasantness, understand the practice leading to the cessation of the faculty of pleasantness; understand the faculty of pain, etc. understand the faculty of pleasure... understand the faculty of displeasure... understand the faculty of equanimity, understand the origin of the faculty of equanimity, understand the cessation of the faculty of equanimity, understand the practice leading to the cessation of the faculty of equanimity, they are for me, monks, ascetics or brahmins who are considered ascetics among ascetics and considered brahmins among brahmins; and those venerable ones dwell having attained the goal of asceticism and the goal of the holy life in this very life, having realised by direct knowledge themselves."
