I\u2019ve finished with all places of loss, bad places, the underworld. I am a stream-enterer! I\u2019m not liable to be reborn in the underworld, and am assured, destined for awakening.\u2019 What are the five fears and enmities they have quelled? Killing living creatures \u2026 stealing \u2026 sexual misconduct \u2026 lying \u2026 consuming intoxicants of beer, wine, and liquor \u2026 These are the five fears and enmities they have quelled. What are the four factors of stream-entry that they possess? It\u2019s when a noble disciple has experiential confidence in the Buddha \u2026 the teaching \u2026 the Sa\u1e45gha \u2026 and their ethical conduct is loved by the noble ones. These are the four factors of stream-entry that they possess. And what is the noble system that they have clearly seen and penetrated with wisdom? A noble disciple carefully and rationally applies the mind to dependent origination itself \u2026 This is the noble system that they have clearly seen and penetrated with wisdom. When a noble disciple has quelled five fears and enmities, possesses the four factors of stream-entry, and has clearly seen and penetrated the noble system with wisdom, they may, if they wish, declare of themselves: \u2018I\u2019ve finished with rebirth in hell, the animal realm, and the ghost realm.
