[122] Bhikkhus, whatever bhikkhu or bhikkhunī develops five dhammas and makes much of five dhammas, for that one, one of two fruits is to be expected: either final knowledge (aññā) in this very life, or, if there is a residue of clinging (upādisesa), the state of a non-returner (anāgāmitā). What five? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu's mindfulness (sati) is well established internally, for the sake of wisdom that penetrates the rise and fall of dhammas; he dwells contemplating foulness (asubha) in the body; he perceives repulsiveness in nutriment; he perceives non-delight in the entire world; he contemplates impermanence in all conditioned things (saṅkhārā). Bhikkhus, whatever bhikkhu or bhikkhunī develops these five dhammas and makes much of these five dhammas, for that one, one of two fruits is to be expected: either final knowledge in this very life, or, if there is a residue of clinging, the state of a non-returner.
