well-developed, calmed, and completely calmed. At the moment of the non-returner path, the five faculties are developed; at the moment of the non-returner fruit, the five faculties are developed, well-developed, and calmed... calmed and well-calmed. At the moment of the path of arahantship, the five faculties are developed; at the moment of the fruit of arahantship, the five faculties are developed, well-developed, calmed, and well-calmed. Thus, there are four purifications of the path, four purifications of the fruit, four purifications of eradication, four purifications of calming. By these four modes, the five faculties are developed; by these four modes, the five faculties are developed, well-developed, calmed, and well-calmed. For how many individuals is there development of faculties? How many individuals have developed faculties? For eight individuals there is development of faculties; three individuals have developed faculties. For which eight individuals is there development of faculties? For the seven trainees, and for the virtuous ordinary person – for these eight individuals there is development of faculties. Who are the three individuals with developed faculties? The Buddha's disciple, the arahant, who has heard, has developed faculties; the Paccekasambuddha, by being self-existent, has developed faculties; the Tathāgata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Self-Enlightened One, by being immeasurable, has developed faculties – these three individuals have developed faculties. Thus, for these eight individuals there is development of faculties; these three individuals have developed faculties. The first discourse exposition. 2. The second discourse exposition 187.
