Seven QualitiesSattadhammasutta

“Mendicants, a mendicant with seven qualities soon realizes the supreme culmination of the spiritual path in this very life. They live having achieved with their own insight the goal for which gentlemen rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness.“Sattahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu nacirasseva āsavānaṁ khayā …pe… sacchikatvā upasampajja vihareyya. What seven?Katamehi sattahi? It’s when a mendicant is faithful, ethical, learned, secluded, energetic, mindful, and wise.Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddho hoti, sīlavā hoti, bahussuto hoti, paṭisallīno hoti, āraddhavīriyo hoti, satimā hoti, paññavā hoti. A mendicant with these seven qualities soon realizes the supreme culmination of the spiritual path in this very life. They live having achieved with their own insight the goal for which gentlemen rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness.”Imehi kho, bhikkhave, sattahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu nacirasseva āsavānaṁ khayā …pe… sacchikatvā upasampajja vihareyyā”ti.
