The Buddha outlines six benefits of realizing the fruit of stream-entry.
“Chayime, bhikkhave, ānisaṁsā sotāpattiphalasacchikiriyāya. Katame cha?
“|Bhikkhus,::::| there are these six benefits in realizing the fruit of |stream-entry::first stage of awakening where one overcomes the fetters of 1.) personal existence view: view of being someone, belief that one is an embodied being, 2.) doubt or perplexity regarding suffering, its arising, its ending, and the way of practice leading to the end of suffering, and 3.) adherence to rules and observances as a means of liberation [sotāpatti]|. What six?
Saddhammaniyato hoti,
aparihānadhammo hoti,
pariyantakatassa dukkhaṁ hoti,
asādhāraṇena ñāṇena samannāgato hoti,
hetu cassa sudiṭṭho,
hetusamuppannā ca dhammā.
1.) One is certain of the true Dhamma;
2.) one is not subject to decline;
3.) one makes a definitive end to suffering;
4.) one is endowed with |extraordinary::lit. not with supporting [asādhāraṇa]| knowledge;
5.) and one has |clearly seen::properly understood, well-seen [sudiṭṭha]| cause,
6.) and causally originated |phenomena::characteristics, thoughts, mental states, mental qualities [dhammā]|.
Ime kho, bhikkhave, cha ānisaṁsā sotāpattiphalasacchikiriyāyā”ti.
These|, bhikkhus,::::| are the six benefits in realizing the fruit of stream-entry.”
