SN 48.66 Seven Benefits – Dutiyaphalasutta

 

Bhikkhū, there are these five faculties.

“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, indriyāni.

What five?

Katamāni pañca?

The faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, samādhi, and wisdom.

Saddhindriyaṁ …pe… paññindriyaṁ—

These are the five faculties.

imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañcindriyāni.

Because of developing and cultivating these five faculties, seven fruits and benefits can be expected.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ indriyānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā satta phalā sattānisaṁsā pāṭikaṅkhā.

What seven?

Katame satta phalā sattānisaṁsā?

They attain enlightenment early on in this very life.

Diṭṭheva dhamme paṭikacca aññaṁ ārādheti,

If not, they attain enlightenment at the time of death.

no ce diṭṭheva dhamme paṭikacca aññaṁ ārādheti, atha maraṇakāle aññaṁ ārādheti.

If not, with the ending of the five lower fetters, they’re extinguished between one life and the next …

No ce diṭṭheva dhamme aññaṁ ārādheti, no ce maraṇakāle aññaṁ ārādheti, atha pañcannaṁ orambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ parikkhayā antarāparinibbāyī hoti,

they’re extinguished upon landing …

upahaccaparinibbāyī hoti,

they’re extinguished without extra effort …

asaṅkhāraparinibbāyī hoti,

they’re extinguished with extra effort …

sasaṅkhāraparinibbāyī hoti,

they head upstream, going to the Akaniṭṭha realm.

uddhaṁsoto hoti akaniṭṭhagāmī.

Because of developing and cultivating these five faculties, these seven fruits and benefits can be expected.”

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ indriyānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā ime satta phalā sattānisaṁsā pāṭikaṅkhā”ti.
