Those destinations still have no origin. There’s none to which I haven’t traveled in the past, except for the Pure Abode Heavens from which beings don’t return to this world. Perhaps, other ascetics or priests were born in that place, but I wasn’t born there. It wouldn’t have been fitting. Once someone is born in the Pure Abode Heavens, they aren’t born in this world again. The noble concentrations that they had attained, I also attained. The noble wisdom that they had attained, I also attained. The noble liberation that they attained, I also attained. The noble liberation of knowing and seeing that they attained, I also attained. I cut the root of the womb and forever ended birth and death. I won’t again be subject to the womb. > — Charles Patton, The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 31.8.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.31.8.18) - [Next: 31.8.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.31.8.20) - [Up: 31.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.31.8) ## Translations (2) - [The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva~en-patton.31.8.p41) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva~en-mt.31.8.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.31.8.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.31.8.19) · Pramāṇa
