“With the appearance of one person, mendicants, there is
- the appearance of a great eye,
- a great light,
- a great radiance,
- and the six unsurpassable things;
- the realization of the four kinds of textual analysis;
- the penetration of many and diverse elements;
- the realization of the fruit of knowledge and freedom;
- the realization of the fruits of stream-entry,
- once-return,
- non-return,
- and perfection.
What one person? The Realized One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha. This is the one person whose appearance brings the appearance of a great eye, a great light, a great radiance, and the six unsurpassable things; the realization of the four kinds of textual analysis; the penetration of many and diverse elements; the realization of the fruit of knowledge and release; the realization of the fruits of stream-entry, once-return, non-return, and perfection.”
