"By longing for liberation, venerable sir, what does the soul produce?"
"By longing for liberation it produces unsurpassed faith in the Dharma. Through unsurpassed faith in the Dharma, it swiftly arrives at longing for liberation, destroys anger, pride, deceit, and greed that lead to endless rebirths, binds no [new] karma, and having purified false view caused by them, it becomes a practicer of faith. Through the purification of faith, when it is purified, someone attains perfection in that very birth. And through that pure purification, it does not go beyond a third birth."
