Ajahn Dhammasiha is asked about Dhammānusārī and Saddhānusārī, Dhamma Follower and Faith Follower. These are the first of the 8 kinds of Noble individuals. They are not yet stream enterers (sotāpanna), they have not yet realized the four noble truths, the vision of Dhamma has not yet arisen in them. However, their 5 spiritual faculties of faith (saddhā), energy (viriya), mindfulness (sati), concentration (samādhi) and wisdom (paññā) have reached sufficient maturity that they will definitely experience stream entry in this same life. They can not pass away without becoming a stream enterer. Although all 5 spiritual faculties have reached sufficient strength, they each have one dominent facutlty: Wisdom (Paññā) in the case of the Dhammānusārī (Dhamma Follower). Faith / Confidence / Conviction (Saddhā) in the case of the Saddhānusārī (Faith Follower). Ajahn points out that 'faith' (saddhā) doesn't just mean personal affection and devotion to the Buddha or inspiring Arahants. Confidence / conviction can be non-personal and non-devotional. It can simply be confidence in the teaching of "all conditioned phenomena are impermanent". Faith in "this body is not me, it is not mine, it is not my self." Even if wisdom can not yet fully discern that body or feelings are not-self, if our conviction/faith in not-self are strong, the combination of wisely seeing not-self with strong conviction in not-self can lead to the mind letting go and experiencing the stages of enlightenment. Both aspects are there, but the Dhammānusārī relies more on discernement, whereas the Saddhānusārī relies more on faith/conviction.
