Asaṅkhatasaṅyuttavagga

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Saḷāyatanavaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 18 · Section 719

[719] And what, bhikkhus, is the path leading to the unconditioned (asaṅkhata)? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu develops right concentration (sammāsamādhi), which is based upon seclusion (viveka), based upon dispassion (virāga), based upon cessation, maturing in relinquishment (vossagga). This, bhikkhus, is called the path leading to the unconditioned. Thus, bhikkhus, the unconditioned has been taught to you by me, and the path leading to the unconditioned has been taught. Whatever, bhikkhus, should be done by a teacher seeking the welfare of his disciples, out of compassion for them, that has been done for you by me. These, bhikkhus, are the roots of trees; these are empty dwellings. Meditate, bhikkhus; do not be negligent; do not be remorseful later. This is our instruction to you.
