40b: The Last Days 2, In Vajji – 1564
5. If someone quotes a passage as being part of the Pāḷi which had been
approved by the Councils, it must conform to the texts approved at the
three great councils. If it is not part of the Pāḷi text approved at the
three great councils, it is to be regarded as spurious.
While the Buddha was staying at the Ānanda shrine, in the town of Bhoga also,
being mindful of his approaching passing, he exhorted the monastics, where
there was occasion to do so, in the following words:
“Such is morality; such is concentration; such is wisdom. Concentration
developed through morality is efficacious and productive. Wisdom developed
through concentration is efficacious and productive. The mind that is developed
through wisdom is thoroughly liberated from the moral pollutants: the pollutant
of sense desire, the pollutant of craving for continued existence, and the
pollutant of ignorance of the four noble truths.”
