A Saṅgha of a Thousand Nuns

At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in the Royal Monastery.
Then a Saṅgha of a thousand nuns went up to the Buddha, bowed, and stood to one side. The Buddha said to them:
“Nuns, a noble disciple who has four things is a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, bound for awakening.
What four?
It’s when a noble disciple has experiential confidence in the Buddha …

the teaching …
the Saṅgha …
And they have the ethical conduct loved by the noble ones … leading to immersion.
A noble disciple who has these four things is a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, bound for awakening.”
