The Book of the Fours The Chapter on the Brahmin’s Offering of the Teaching The Ending of Defilements
This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
“Mendicants, I say that the ending of defilements is for one who knows and sees, not for one who does not know or see. For one who knows and sees what? The ending of defilements is for one who knows and sees suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path. The ending of the defilements is for one who knows and sees this.”
