In essential terms, brahmacaryā has two aspects: retributive result and upāya. Initial cultivation is 'pure'; final completion is 'brahma'. In terms of retributive result, the desire-realm heavens are 'pure', and the form-realm heavens are 'brahma'. In terms of benefit for oneself and benefit for others, benefit for oneself is 'pure', and benefit for others is 'brahma'. Hence the Nirvāṇa-sūtra says: 'The three trainings are the supreme noble practice; the four immeasurables are the brahma \[practice\].' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1732.2.22) - [Next: 2.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1732.2.24) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1732.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1732~en-mt.2.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1732.2.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1732.2.23) · Pramāṇa
