Quotes from Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, Vol. 1

 

“All of you should know that there are four kinds of dharmas: precept, concentration, wisdom, and liberation. If we do not hear and know about these four dharmas, we will be trapped in the ocean of transmigration for endless dark nights. If I had not heard of and comprehended these four dharmas over my previous lifetimes, I would not have been able to achieve the supreme and perfect enlightenment (anuttarā samyak-saṃbodhi) swiftly.”

 

大般涅槃經1

 

「汝等當知,有四種法:一戒、二定、三慧、四解脫,若不聞知此四法者,斯人長夜在生死海。我於往昔,若不聞知此四法者,不能疾得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」
