109(9)At Home in the Four Quarters
"Bhikkhus,possessing five qualities,a bhikkhu is at home in the four quarters.
Cātuddiso.Mp:"He moves about without obstruction in the four quarters"(catusu disasu appatihatacaro).What five?
(1)Here,a bhikkhu is virtuous;he dwells restrained by the Patimokkha,possessed of good conduct and resort,seeing danger in minute faults.Having undertaken the training rules,he trains in them.
(2)He has learned much,remembers what he has learned,and accumulates what he has learned.Those teachings that are good in the beginning,good in the middle,and good in the end,with the right meaning and phrasing,which proclaim the perfectly complete and pure spiritual life—such teachings as these he has learned much of,retained in mind,recited verbally,mentally investigated,and penetrated well by view.
(3)He is content with any kind of robes,almsfood,lodgings,and medicines and provisionis for the sick.
(4)He gains at will,without trouble or difficulty,the four jhānas that constitute the higher mind and are pleasant dwellings in this very life.
(5)With the destruction of the taints,he has realized for himself with direct knowledge,in this very life,the taintless liberation of mind,liberation by wisdom,andhaving entered upon it,he dwells in it.
Possessing these five qualities,a bhikkhu is at home in the four quarters."
