“[9] Suppose a monk has faith, precepts, much learning, can teach Dharma, can train the assembly, can explain the Dharma’s words in detail to a large assembly, has attained the four dhyānas, and has traversed the eight liberations forward and backward. Still, he can’t end being contaminated, become uncontaminated, liberate his mind and wisdom, and personally realize in the present life, ‘Birth has been ended, the religious practice has been established, and the task has been accomplished. I won’t be subject to another existence.’ His religious practice is incomplete. Suppose a monk has faith, precepts, much learning, can teach Dharma, can train the assembly, can explain the Dharma’s words in detail to a large assembly, has attained the four dhyānas, and has traversed the eight liberations forward and backward. He also has abandoned being contaminated, become uncontaminated, liberated his mind and wisdom, and personally realized in the present life, ‘Birth has been ended, the religious practice has been established, and the task has been accomplished. I won’t be subject to another existence.’ His religious practice is complete.
