The Discourse about the Great Emancipation

The Second Chapter for Recitation
The Gracious One said this, and after saying this, the Fortunate One,
the Teacher, said something more: 55
“Because of not seeing as it really is the Four Noble Truths
we have run along for a long time through various births.
(Now) these have been seen, what leads to rebirth is uprooted,
the root of suffering has been cut off, there is no continuation in
existence.”

There also the Gracious One, while living in Koṭigāma, spoke
frequently to the monks about the Teaching, (saying):
“Such is virtue, such is concentration, such is wisdom, when virtue is
well-developed it yields great fruit and brings great advantages in
regard to concentration, when concentration is well-developed it yields
great fruit and brings great advantages in regard to wisdom, when
wisdom is well-developed the mind is completely liberated from the
pollutants, that is to say: the pollutant of sensuality, the pollutant of
(craving for) continued existence, the pollutant of ignorance.”
55 Normally this phrase, as here, introduces a verse summary of whatever
precedes.
