Akuppa Suttaṃ
The Immovable
[93]
[1 THUS have I heard:
Once the Exalted One was dwelling near Sāvatthī,
at Jeta Grove, in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park;
and there he addressed the monks, saying:
"Monks."
'Yes, lord,' they replied;
and the Exalted One said:
"Monks, possessed of five qualities a monk in no long time will penetrate the immovable.1
Of what five?
He is a master of logical analysis;
a master in analysing causal relations;
a master of grammatical analysis;
a master in analysing things knowable;2
and he reflects on the mind as freed.3
Monks, possessed of these five qualities a monk in no long time will penetrate the immovable.'
