“Mendicants, there are these four bases of psychic power.

What four?

It’s when a mendicant develops the basis of psychic power that has immersion due to enthusiasm …

energy …

mental development …

inquiry, and active effort.

enlightenment in this very life, or if there’s residue left behind, non-return.”
