Seven Qualities Sattadhammasutta

ā€œMendicants, a mendicant with seven qualities soon realizes the supreme culmination of the spiritual path in this very life. They live having achieved with their own insight the goal for which gentlemen rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness. ā€œSattahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu nacirasseva āsavānaṁ khayā …pe… sacchikatvā upasampajja vihareyya. What seven? Katamehi sattahi? It’s when a mendicant is faithful, ethical, learned, secluded, energetic, mindful, and wise. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddho hoti, sÄ«lavā hoti, bahussuto hoti, paį¹­isallÄ«no hoti, āraddhavÄ«riyo hoti, satimā hoti, paƱƱavā hoti. A mendicant with these seven qualities soon realizes the supreme culmination of the spiritual path in this very life. They live having achieved with their own insight the goal for which gentlemen rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness.ā€ Imehi kho, bhikkhave, sattahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu nacirasseva āsavānaṁ khayā …pe… sacchikatvā upasampajja vihareyyÄā€ti.
