Then a certain monk went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, having bowed down to him, sat to one side. As he was sitting there he said to the Blessed One: -'Consummate in faculties, consummate in faculties,' it is said. To what extent is one consummate in faculties?" |

If a monk, while keeping track of arising & passing away with regard to the eye-faculty, becomes disenchanted with the eye-faculty;... If, while keeping track of arising & passing away with regard to the ear-faculty... ...the nose-faculty... ...the tongue-faculty... ...the body faculty... If a monk, while keeping track of arising & passing away with regard to the intellect-faculty, he becomes disenchanted with the intellect-faculty; and, disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate; through dispassion, he is fully released; with full release, there is the knowledge, 'Fully released'; he discerns that 'Birth is depleted, the holy life fulfilled, the task done. There is nothing further for this world,' it is to this extent that one is consummate in faculties. |
