1"Bhikkhus, there are these five faculties. What five? The faculty of faith, the faculty of energy, the faculty of mindfulness, the faculty of concentration, the faculty of wisdom.

"When, bhikkhus, a noble disciple understands as they really are the gratification, the danger, and the escape in the case of these five faculties, then he is called a noble disciple who is a stream-enterer, no longer bound to the nether world, fixed in destiny, with enlightenment as his destination." [n.188] The faculties alone, among the various "aids to enlightenment," are treated in terms of the "gratification triad" (here), the "origin pentad," and "the noble-truth tetrad" (just below). The explanation for this probably lies in the fact that the five faculties are included in the wider list of twenty-two faculties intended as a "catalogue of phenomenal reality," and thus had to be expounded in terms of the wider categories used to analyse the constituents of reality. Gethin discusses this point more fully in The Buddhist Path to Awakening, pp. 123–25.
