This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
“Mendicants, a mendicant with these three qualities has slipped free of Māra’s dominion and shines like the sun.
What three?
It’s when they have the entire spectrum of the adept’s ethics, immersion, and wisdom.
A mendicant with these three qualities has slipped free of Māra’s dominion and shines like the sun.”
The Buddha spoke this matter.
On this it is said:
“Whoever has well developed
ethics, immersion, and wisdom
has slipped free of Māra’s dominion
and shines like the sun.”
This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
