對曰:「唯然。」即嚴衣鉢,與諸大眾侍從世尊,路由摩竭,次到竹園,往堂上坐,與諸比丘說戒、定、慧。修戒獲定,得大果報;修定獲智,得大果報;修智心淨,得等解脫,盡於三漏——欲漏、有漏、無明漏。已得解脫生解脫智:生死已盡,梵行已立,所作已辦,不受後有。
Ānanda replied, “Very well,” prepared his robe and bowl, and followed the Bhagavān with the large assembly. They took the road from Magadha and arrived at the Bamboo Park next.
He went up into the hall there and sat down with the monks, giving them a discourse on the precepts, samādhi, and wisdom: “Cultivating precepts and obtaining samādhi wins a great reward. Cultivating samādhi and obtaining wisdom wins a great reward. Cultivating wisdom and purifying the mind wins complete liberation. With the end of the three contaminants, which are the contaminants of desire, existence, and ignorance, the knowledge of liberation arises after one is liberated: ‘My births and deaths have been ended, the religious life has been established, and the task has been accomplished. I won’t be subject to a later existence.’”
