AN.IV.88 | Sa.myojana Sutta | There are four levels of steadfastness in the virtue of a monk: 1. who rids himself of the first three fetters and becomes a stream enterer can be considered an unshakeable recluse; 2. who destroy the first three fetters and reduce greed, hatred and delusion to become a once-returner can be considered a pu.n.darika (blue) lotus monk; 3. who utterly destroy the lower five fetters can be considered a paduma (white) lotus monk, and; 4. who is utterly free of all ten fetters attaining arahatship can be considered exquisite amongst the community of monks. |
