Saṁyutta Nikāya — Discursos Conectados — 35.154 — Endowed With Faculties

1Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha … and asked him, “Sir, they speak of someone who is ‘accomplished in the faculties’. How is someone accomplished in the faculties defined?”

2“Mendicant, if someone meditates observing rise and fall in the eye faculty, they grow disillusioned with the eye faculty.

3If they meditate observing rise and fall in the ear faculty … nose faculty … tongue faculty … body faculty … mind faculty, they grow disillusioned with the mind faculty.

4Being disillusioned, desire fades away. … When they’re freed, they know they’re freed.

5They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place.’

6This is how someone who is accomplished in the faculties is defined.”
