What are the five? \[1\] Here, a monk hears the Tathāgata teach the Dharma, hears a religious practitioner teach it, or hears a senior teacher teach the Dharma. He contemplates, investigates, and discerns the meaning of that Dharma, and his mind becomes joyous. After his mind becomes joyous, he attains the love of Dharma. After he attains the love of Dharma, he’s comfortable in body and mind. After he’s comfortable in body and mind, then he attains the samādhi of dhyāna. After he attains the samādhi of dhyāna, he attains true knowing and seeing. This is the first way to enter liberation. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “\[2\] Here, after a monk hears Dharma and rejoices, he accepts, retains, and recites it, \[3\] rejoices and teaches it for other people, \[4\] rejoices, contemplates, and discerns it, \[5\] rejoices and attains samādhi regarding the Dharma in the same way. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “There are another five things, which are five people: Those whose parinirvāṇa is in the interim, whose parinirvāṇa is at birth, whose parinirvāṇa is without practice, whose parinirvāṇa is with practice, and whose parinirvāṇa is upstream in Akaniṣṭha. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “Monks, these are the correct teachings taught by the Tathāgata that we ought to compile together to safeguard them from dispute, establish the religious life for a long time, and benefit many people so that gods and people will obtain peace. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 9.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.9.23) - [Next: 9.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.9.25) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.9) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.9.p112) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.9.24) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Saṅgītisutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.33.2.1.1-142) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.9.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.9.24) · Pramāṇa
