1"Bhikkhus, without having abandoned these five things one is incapable of entering and dwelling in the second jhāna … the third jhāna … the fourth jhāna … one is incapable of realizing the fruit of stream-entry … the fruit of once-returning … the fruit of non-returning … the fruit of arahantship. What five? Miserliness with regard to dwellings … ingratitude or unthankfulness. Without having abandoned these five things, one is incapable of realizing the fruit of arahantship.
