Brahmacariyogadhasutta The Culmination of the Spiritual Life
“Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako sotāpanno hoti avinipātadhammo niyato sambodhiparāyaṇo. “Mendicants, a noble disciple who has four things is a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, bound for awakening.
Katamehi catūhi? What four?
Idha, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgato hoti: It’s when a noble disciple has experiential confidence in the Buddha …
‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṁ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavā’ti.
Dhamme …pe… the teaching …
saṅghe …pe… the Saṅgha …
ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgato hoti akhaṇḍehi …pe… samādhisaṁvattanikehi. And they have the ethical conduct loved by the noble ones … leading to immersion.
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako sotāpanno hoti avinipātadhammo niyato sambodhiparāyaṇo”ti. A noble disciple who has these four things is a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, bound for awakening.”
Idamavoca bhagavā. That is what the Buddha said.
Idaṁ vatvāna sugato athāparaṁ etadavoca satthā: Then the Holy One, the Teacher, went on to say:
“Yesaṁ saddhā ca sīlañca, “Those who have faith and ethics,
Pasādo dhammadassanaṁ; confidence, and vision of the truth,
Te ve kālena paccenti, in time arrive at happiness,
Brahmacariyogadhaṁ sukhan”ti. the culmination of the spiritual life.”
Dutiyaṁ.
