Greatness Mahantattasutta

ā€œMendicants, a mendicant with six qualities soon acquires great and abundant good qualities. ā€œChahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu nacirasseva mahantattaṁ vepullattaṁ pāpuṇāti dhammesu. What six? Katamehi chahi? It’s when a mendicant is full of light, full of practice, full of inspiration, and full of eagerness. They don’t slack off when it comes to developing skillful qualities. They reach further. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu ālokabahulo ca hoti yogabahulo ca vedabahulo ca asantuį¹­į¹­hibahulo ca anikkhittadhuro ca kusalesu dhammesu uttari ca patāreti. A mendicant who possesses these six qualities soon acquires great and abundant good qualities.ā€ Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu nacirasseva mahantattaṁ vepullattaṁ pāpuṇāti dhammesÅ«ā€ti.
