"Furthermore, there are three trainings: the higher training in morality, the higher training in mind, and the higher training in wisdom. What is the higher training in morality? If a bhikṣu maintains the prātimokṣa precepts completely, accomplishes good deportment, fears minor precepts as though they were heavy as vajra, and trains equally in all precepts, this is called the higher training in morality. What is the higher training in mind? If a bhikṣu is able to abandon sensual desires and unwholesome states, up to entering the fourth dhyāna, this is called the higher training in mind. What is the higher training in wisdom? If a bhikṣu knows the truth of suffering as it really is, and knows its origin, cessation, and the path, this is called the higher training in wisdom."
