“Cha, bhikkhave, dhamme appahāya abhabbo uttari manussadhammaṁ alamariyañāṇadassanavisesaṁ sacchikātuṁ.

“Mendicants, without giving up six qualities you can’t realize a superhuman distinction in knowledge and vision worthy of the noble ones.

Katame cha?

What six?

Muṭṭhassaccaṁ, asampajaññaṁ, indriyesu aguttadvārataṁ, bhojane amattaññutaṁ, kuhanaṁ, lapanaṁ.

Lack of mindfulness and situational awareness, not guarding the sense doors, eating too much, fawning, and flattery.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, cha dhamme appahāya abhabbo uttari manussadhammaṁ alamariyañāṇadassanavisesaṁ sacchikātuṁ.

Without giving up these six qualities you can’t realize a superhuman distinction in knowledge and vision worthy of the noble ones.
