“Mendicants, when a mendicant’s mind has been well consolidated with wisdom it’s appropriate for them to say: ‘I understand: “Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence.”’
“And how is a mendicant’s mind well consolidated with wisdom?
- The mind is well consolidated with wisdom when they know: ‘My mind is without greed.’ …
- ‘My mind is without hate.’ …
- ‘My mind is without delusion.’ …
- ‘My mind is not liable to become greedy.’ …
- ‘My mind is not liable to become hateful.’ …
- ‘My mind is not liable to become deluded.’ …
- ‘My mind is not liable to return to rebirth in the sensual realm.’ …
- ‘My mind is not liable to return to rebirth in the realm of luminous form.’ …
- ‘My mind is not liable to return to rebirth in the formless realm.’
“When a mendicant’s mind has been well consolidated with wisdom it’s appropriate for them to say: ‘I understand: “Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence.”’”
