Kāḷigodha Sutta

The Buddha, while staying at the Nigrodhārāma, visits his kinswoman Kāḷigodhā of Kapilavatthu, and tells her of the four qualities to be found in the Stream-winner (sotāpanna):

  1. Unwavering confidence (aveccappasāda) in the Buddha,
  2. Unwavering confidence in the Dhamma,
  3. Unwavering confidence in the Saṅgha,
  4. Freedom from all taint of stinginess, delight in self-surrender and dispensing charitable gifts.

Kāḷigodhā states that she possesses all these qualities. S.v.396.
