1"Bhikkhus, there are these five setbacks in the training. [n.1959] Sikkhādubbalyāni. Lit., "weaknesses in (regard to) to the training." What is intended are not defects in the training itself, but defects in one's observance of the training. Suttas AN9.63 –92 are all composite nines combining ten different fivefold sets with, successively, the four establishments of mindfulness, the four right strivings, and the four bases for psychic potency. What five? (1) The destruction of life, (2) taking what is not given, (3) sexual misconduct, (4) false speech, and (5) indulging in liquor, wine, and intoxicants, the basis for heedlessness. These are the five setbacks in the training.

2The four establishments of mindfulness are to be developed for abandoning these five setbacks in the training. What four? Here, (6) a bhikkhu dwells contemplating the body in the body, ardent, clearly comprehending, mindful, having removed longing and dejection in regard to the world. (7) He dwells contemplating feelings in feelings … (8) … mind in mind … (9) … phenomena in phenomena, ardent, clearly comprehending, mindful, having removed longing and dejection in regard to the world. These four establishments of mindfulness are to be developed for abandoning these five setbacks in the training."
