The Discourse about the Great Emancipation

The Second Chapter for Recitation
Thus, Ānanda, a monk lives with himself as an island, himself as a
refuge, with no other refuge, with the Teaching as an island, the
Teaching as a refuge, with no other refuge. For whoever, Ānanda,
whether at present or after my passing, lives with himself as an island,
himself as a refuge, with no other refuge, with the Teaching as an
island, the Teaching as a refuge, with no other refuge, those monks of
mine, Ānanda, will go from darkness to the highest 79 - whoever likes
the training.”
The Second Chapter for Recital (is Finished).
79 Commentary paraphrases: evaṁ sabbaṁ tamayogaṁ chinditvā, ativiya agge
uttamabhāve ete, Ānanda, mama bhikkhū bhavissanti; having in this way cut
off all connection with the darkness, these monks of mine, Ānanda, will be at
the absolute top of supreme existence.
