“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, sikkhā.
¶ 1“Mendicants, these are the three trainings.
Katamā tisso?
¶ 2What three?
Adhisīlasikkhā, adhicittasikkhā, adhipaññāsikkhā.
¶ 3The training in the higher ethics, the higher mind, and the higher wisdom.
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, adhisīlasikkhā?
¶ 4And what is the training in the higher ethics?
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sīlavā hoti …pe… samādāya sikkhati sikkhāpadesu.
¶ 5It’s when a mendicant is ethical, restrained in the monastic code, conducting themselves well and resorting for alms in suitable places. Seeing danger in the slightest fault, they keep the rules they’ve undertaken.
Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, adhisīlasikkhā.
¶ 6This is called the training in the higher ethics.
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, adhicittasikkhā?
¶ 7And what is the training in the higher mind?
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu vivicceva kāmehi …pe… catutthaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharati.
¶ 8It’s when a mendicant, quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskillful qualities, enters and remains in the first absorption … second absorption … third absorption … fourth absorption.
Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, adhicittasikkhā.
¶ 9This is called the training in the higher mind.
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, adhipaññāsikkhā?
¶ 10And what is the training in the higher wisdom?
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati.
¶ 11It’s when a mendicant realizes the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life. And they live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements.
Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, adhipaññāsikkhā.
¶ 12This is called the training in the higher wisdom.
Imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso sikkhāti.
¶ 13These are the three trainings.
Adhisīlaṁ adhicittaṁ,
¶ 14The higher ethics, the higher mind,
adhipaññañca vīriyavā;
¶ 15and the higher wisdom should be practiced
Thāmavā dhitimā jhāyī,
¶ 16by those energetic, steadfast, and resolute,
sato guttindriyo care.
¶ 17practicing absorption, mindful, with guarded senses.
Yathā pure tathā pacchā,
¶ 18As before, so behind;
yathā pacchā tathā pure;
¶ 19as behind, so before.
Yathā adho tathā uddhaṁ,
¶ 20As below, so above;
yathā uddhaṁ tathā adho.
¶ 21as above, so below.
Yathā divā tathā rattiṁ,
¶ 22As by day, so by night;
yathā rattiṁ tathā divā;
¶ 23as by night, so by day.
Abhibhuyya disā sabbā,
¶ 24Having mastered every direction
appamāṇasamādhinā.
¶ 25with limitless immersion,
Tamāhu sekhaṁ paṭipadaṁ,
¶ 26they call them a ‘trainee on the path’,
atho saṁsuddhacāriyaṁ;
¶ 27and ‘one living a pure life’.
Tamāhu loke sambuddhaṁ,
¶ 28But a wise one who has gone to the end of the path
dhīraṁ paṭipadantaguṁ.
¶ 29they call a ‘Buddha’ in the world.
Viññāṇassa nirodhena,
¶ 30With the cessation of consciousness,
taṇhākkhayavimuttino;
¶ 31freed by the ending of craving,
Pajjotasseva nibbānaṁ,
¶ 32the liberation of their heart
vimokkho hoti cetaso”ti.
¶ 33is like a lamp going out.”
