"Furthermore, there are three trainings: the higher training in śīla, the higher training in mind, and the higher training in wisdom. What is the higher training in śīla? If there is a bhikṣu who fulfills the practice of śīla, but practices little concentration and practices little wisdom, he severs the five lower fetters, then attains nirvāṇa above, and does not return here. If he cannot reach such a state, he is able to attenuate the three fetters: greed, hatred, and delusion; he attains the stage of sakṛdāgāmin, is reborn once in the world, and then puts an end to suffering. If he cannot reach such a state, he is able to sever the three fetters and attain the stage of srotāpanna, not falling into the evil destinies, being destined for awakening, and, after seven births in the heavens and seven births among humans, he puts an end to suffering. If a bhikṣu fulfills the practice of śīla and fulfills the practice of concentration, but practices little wisdom, it is also as above. If a bhikṣu fulfills the practice of śīla, fulfills the practice of concentration, and fulfills the practice of wisdom, it is also as above."
