1"Bhikkhus, there are these five faculties. What five? The faculty of faith … the faculty of wisdom. |
"And where, bhikkhus, is the faculty of faith to be seen? The faculty of faith is to be seen here in the four factors of stream-entry.[n.191] See SN55.2, etc. A parallel treatment of the five powers (pañca bala) is at AN5.15. |
"And where, bhikkhus, is the faculty of energy to be seen? The faculty of energy is to be seen here in the four right strivings.[n.192] See SN48.10 just below. Parallel definitions of the five powers are at AN5.12, but with the samādhibala defined solely by the jhāna formula. |
"And where, bhikkhus, is the faculty of mindfulness to be seen? The faculty of mindfulness is to be seen here in the four establishments of mindfulness. |
"And where, bhikkhus, is the faculty of concentration to be seen? The faculty of concentration is to be seen here in the four jhānas. |
"And where, bhikkhus, is the faculty of wisdom to be seen? The faculty of wisdom is to be seen here in the Four Noble Truths. |
"These, bhikkhus, are the five faculties." |
