Having disciplined himself, he disciplines others. He could stop his breath and makes it possible for others to stop their breath. He crossed over to the other shore and makes it possible for others to cross over. He attained liberation and makes it possible for others to attain liberation. He attained extinguishment and makes it possible for others to attain extinguishment’?” > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 8.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.8.55) - [Next: 8.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.8.57) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.8) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.8.p86) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.8.56) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Udumbarikasutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.25.21.1-16) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.8.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.8.56) · Pramāṇa
