What five? The faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom. And what is the faculty of faith? It\u2019s when a noble disciple has faith in the Realized One\u2019s awakening: \u2018That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those fit for training, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.\u2019 This is called the faculty of faith. And what is the faculty of energy? It\u2019s when a noble disciple lives with energy roused up for giving up unskillful qualities and embracing skillful qualities. They\u2019re strong, staunchly vigorous, not slacking off when it comes to developing skillful qualities. This is called the faculty of energy. And what is the faculty of mindfulness? It\u2019s when a noble disciple is mindful. They have utmost mindfulness and alertness, and can remember and recall what was said and done long ago. This is called the faculty of mindfulness. And what is the faculty of immersion? It\u2019s when a noble disciple, relying on letting go, gains immersion, gains unification of mind. This is called the faculty of immersion. And what is the faculty of wisdom? It\u2019s when a noble disciple is wise. They have the wisdom of arising and passing away which is noble, penetrative, and leads to the complete ending of suffering. This is called the faculty of wisdom. These are the five faculties.\u201d","title":"Analysis (1st)","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":238}
