In this discourse, the Buddha tells a Brahmin the different stages of a disciple culminating in arahantship. At each stage, the Buddha says
Once the disciple attain arahantship, only then the Buddha saysBuddha wrote:disciple of the noble ones would not yet come to the conclusion, 'The Blessed One is rightly self-awakened; the Dhamma is well-taught by the Blessed One; the Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples has practiced rightly.'
That seems to contradict that a sotapanna attain unshakeable faith in the Buddha/Dhamma/Sangha, because in that case it looks like the disciple attain that only when he is an arahant...Buddha wrote:it is here that a disciple of the noble ones has come to conclusion: 'The Blessed One is rightly self-awakened; the Dhamma is well-taught by the Blessed One; the Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples has practiced rightly.'
Is there anything I don't understand correctly there?
Many thanks for your comments!
