Nine reflections by which a Bhikkhu can know that their mind is thoroughly cultivated with wisdom.
“Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno paññāya cittaṁ suparicitaṁ hoti, tassetaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno kallaṁ vacanāya: ‘khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānāmī’ti.
“Bhikkhus, when the mind of a bhikkhu is thoroughly cultivated with wisdom, it is proper for that bhikkhu to declare: ‘Birth is ended, the spiritual life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of existence.’”
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno paññāya cittaṁ suparicitaṁ hoti? ‘Vītarāgaṁ me cittan’ti paññāya cittaṁ suparicitaṁ hoti; ‘vītadosaṁ me cittan’ti paññāya cittaṁ suparicitaṁ hoti; ‘vītamohaṁ me cittan’ti paññāya cittaṁ suparicitaṁ hoti; ‘asarāgadhammaṁ me cittan’ti paññāya cittaṁ suparicitaṁ hoti; ‘asadosadhammaṁ me cittan’ti paññāya cittaṁ suparicitaṁ hoti; ‘asamohadhammaṁ me cittan’ti paññāya cittaṁ suparicitaṁ hoti; ‘anāvattidhammaṁ me cittaṁ kāmabhavāyā’ti paññāya cittaṁ suparicitaṁ hoti; ‘anāvattidhammaṁ me cittaṁ rūpabhavāyā’ti paññāya cittaṁ suparicitaṁ hoti; ‘anāvattidhammaṁ me cittaṁ arūpabhavāyā’ti paññāya cittaṁ suparicitaṁ hoti. Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno paññāya cittaṁ suparicitaṁ hoti, tassetaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno kallaṁ vacanāya: ‘khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānāmī’”ti.
“And how, bhikkhus, is the mind of a bhikkhu thoroughly cultivated with wisdom? ‘My mind is free from passion’ - thus with wisdom the mind is thoroughly cultivated; ‘My mind is free from aversion’ - thus with wisdom the mind is thoroughly cultivated; ‘My mind is free from delusion’ - thus with wisdom the mind is thoroughly cultivated; ‘My mind is free from the tendencies of passion’ - thus with wisdom the mind is thoroughly cultivated; ‘My mind is free from the tendencies of aversion’ - thus with wisdom the mind is thoroughly cultivated; ‘My mind is free from the tendencies of delusion’ - thus with wisdom the mind is thoroughly cultivated; ‘My mind is not liable to return to the realm of sensual existence’ - thus with wisdom the mind is thoroughly cultivated; ‘My mind is not liable to return to the realm of form existence’ - thus with wisdom the mind is thoroughly cultivated; ‘My mind is not liable to return to the realm of formless existence’ - thus with wisdom the mind is thoroughly cultivated. When indeed, bhikkhus, the mind of a bhikkhu is thoroughly cultivated with wisdom, it is proper for that bhikkhu to declare: ‘Birth is ended, the spiritual life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of existence.’”
