The Discourse on Hot Ashes
136.
At Sāvatthī.
"Materiality, monks, is hot ashes, feeling is hot ashes, perception is hot ashes, activities are hot ashes, consciousness is hot ashes.
Seeing thus, monks, a learned noble disciple becomes disenchanted with materiality, becomes disenchanted with feeling, becomes disenchanted with perception, becomes disenchanted with activities, becomes disenchanted with consciousness.
Being disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate;
through dispassion, he becomes liberated.
When liberated, there is the knowledge: 'Liberated.'
He understands: 'Birth is eliminated, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming back to any state of being.'"
The first.
