Qualifications for Graduation

“Mendicants, there are these seven qualifications for graduation.

What seven?

It’s when a mendicant has a keen enthusiasm to undertake the training …

to examine the teachings …

to get rid of desires …

for retreat …

to rouse up energy …

for mindfulness and alertness …

to penetrate theoretically. And they don’t lose these desires in the future.

These are the seven qualifications for graduation.”
