At one time the Buddha was staying near S\u0101vatth\u012b in the stilt longhouse of Mig\u0101ra\u2019s mother in the Eastern Monastery. There the Buddha addressed the mendicants: \u201cMendicants, how many faculties must a mendicant develop and cultivate so that they can declare enlightenment: \u2018I understand: \u201cRebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place\u201d\u2019?\u201d \u201cOur teachings are rooted in the Buddha. \u2026\u201d \u201cA mendicant must develop and cultivate one faculty so that they can declare enlightenment. What one? The faculty of wisdom. When a noble disciple has wisdom, the faith, energy, mindfulness, and immersion that follow along with that become stabilized. This is the one faculty that a mendicant must develop and cultivate so that they can declare enlightenment: \u2018I understand: \u201cRebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place.\u201d\u2019\u201d","title":"At the Eastern Monastery (1st)","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":163}
