Wir sehen die Dinge nicht, wie sie sind, sondern wie wir sind.

Rabbi Shmuel ben Nachmani

Rewards
Ānisaṁsa Sutta
(AN 6:97)

“Monks, there are these six rewards in realizing the fruit of stream-entry. Which six? One is certain of the true Dhamma. One is not subject to falling back. There is no suffering over what has had a limit placed on it.1 One is endowed with uncommon knowledge.2 One rightly sees cause, along with causally-originated phenomena."

“These are the six rewards in realizing the fruit of Stream-entry.”

 

Notes

1  Pariyanta-katassa na dukkhaṁ hoti: In other words, one has no regret over the fact that one will experience rebirth only a limited number of times, and that a limit has been placed on the amount of suffering one is still subject to. This statement counteracts the notion, sometimes expressed even in Buddhist circles, that a person can get “stuck” in release against his or her will, or that an awakened person might regret putting an end to saṁsāra.

2  According to the Commentary, uncommon knowledge is knowledge in which unawakened people have no share.
