“What are two things to be achieved? Knowing conscience and modesty. What are two things to be cultivated? Calm and contemplation. What are two things to be recognized? Name and form. What are two things to be ceased? Ignorance and craving. What are two things that retreat? Violating precepts and breaking with [right] view. What are two things that advance? Being complete in precepts and complete in view. What are two things that are difficult to understand? The causes and conditions for sentient beings to be defiled and the causes and conditions for sentient beings to be purified. What are two things to produce? Knowledge of ending [the contaminants] and knowledge of no birth. What are two things to know? What’s possible and what’s impossible. What are two things to be realized? Insight and liberation.
