SN.48.19. Sampannasutta ("Endowed")
Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
“Sir, they speak of someone who is ‘accomplished regarding the faculties’. How is someone accomplished regarding the faculties defined?”
“Mendicant, it’s when a mendicant develops the faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom that lead to peace and awakening. This is how someone who is accomplished regarding the faculties is defined.”
