The Discourse on Ānanda
32. Then the Venerable Ānanda approached the Blessed One; having approached, he paid respect to the Blessed One and sat down to one side. Seated to one side, the Venerable Ānanda said this to the Blessed One -
"Could there be, venerable sir, such an attainment of concentration for a monk that in this conscious body there would be no underlying tendencies to I-making, mine-making, and conceit, and externally in all signs there would be no underlying tendencies to I-making, mine-making, and conceit; and that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom, for one dwelling having attained which the underlying tendencies to I-making, mine-making, and conceit do not exist - could he dwell having attained that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom?" "There could be, Ānanda, such an attainment of concentration for a monk that in this conscious body there would be no underlying tendencies to I-making, mine-making, and conceit, and externally in all signs there would be no underlying tendencies to I-making, mine-making, and conceit; and that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom, for one dwelling having attained which the underlying tendencies to I-making, mine-making, and conceit do not exist - he could dwell having attained that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom."
"In what way, venerable sir, could there be such an attainment of concentration for a monk that in this conscious body there would be no underlying tendencies to I-making, mine-making, and conceit, and externally in all signs there would be no underlying tendencies to I-making, mine-making, and conceit; and that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom, for one dwelling having attained which the underlying tendencies to I-making, mine-making, and conceit do not exist - could he dwell having attained that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom?"
"Here, Ānanda, a monk thinks thus - 'This is peaceful, this is sublime, that is to say, the stilling of all activities, the relinquishment of all clinging, the elimination of craving, dispassion, cessation, Nibbāna.' Thus, Ānanda, there could be such an attainment of concentration for a monk that in this conscious body there would be no underlying tendencies to I-making, mine-making, and conceit, and externally in all signs there would be no underlying tendencies to I-making, mine-making, and conceit; and that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom, for one dwelling having attained which the underlying tendencies to I-making, mine-making, and conceit do not exist - he could dwell having attained that liberation of mind and liberation by wisdom."
"And this was said by me, Ānanda, with reference to this, in the Pārāyana, in Puṇṇaka's Question -
For whom there is no perturbation anywhere in the world;
Peaceful, smokeless, free from trouble, desireless,
He has crossed over birth and ageing, I say." The second.
