Kūṭasutta Peak

ā€œPaƱcimāni, bhikkhave, sekhabalāni. ā€œMendicants, there are these five powers of a trainee.

Katamāni paƱca? What five?

Saddhābalaṁ, hirÄ«balaṁ, ottappabalaṁ, vÄ«riyabalaṁ, paƱƱābalaṁ—The powers of faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom.

imāni kho, bhikkhave, paƱca sekhabalāni. These are the five powers of a trainee.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, paƱcannaṁ sekhabalānaṁ etaṁ aggaṁ etaṁ saį¹…gāhikaṁ etaṁ saį¹…ghātaniyaṁ, yadidaṁ paƱƱābalaṁ. Of these five powers of a trainee, the power of wisdom is the chief. It holds and binds everything together.

Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, kūṭāgārassa etaṁ aggaṁ etaṁ saį¹…gāhikaṁ etaṁ saį¹…ghātaniyaṁ, yadidaṁ kūṭaṁ. It’s like a bungalow. The roof-peak is the chief point, which holds and binds everything together.

Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, imesaṁ paƱcannaṁ sekhabalānaṁ etaṁ aggaṁ etaṁ saį¹…gāhikaṁ etaṁ saį¹…ghātaniyaṁ, yadidaṁ paƱƱābalaṁ. In the same way, of these five powers of a trainee, the power of wisdom is the chief. It holds and binds everything together.

Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ: So you should train like this:

ā€˜saddhābalena samannāgatā bhavissāma sekhabalena, hirÄ«balena … ottappabalena … vÄ«riyabalena … paƱƱābalena samannāgatā bhavissāma sekhabalenā’ti. ā€˜We will have the trainee’s powers of faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom.’

EvaƱhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabbanā€ti. That’s how you should train.ā€

Dutiyaṁ.
