[46] **Therefore indeed a person should train right here** (tasmā hi sikkhetha idheva jantu): "Therefore" (tasmā): therefore, for that reason, from that cause, owing to that condition, from that source — seeing this danger in sensual pleasures; thus "therefore." "Should train" (sikkhetha): the three trainings (sikkhā) — the training in higher virtue (adhisīlasikkhā), the training in higher mind (adhicittasikkhā), and the training in higher wisdom (adhipaññāsikkhā).
What is the training in higher virtue? Here a bhikkhu is virtuous; he dwells restrained by the restraint of the Pāṭimokkha, possessed of proper conduct and resort, seeing danger in the slightest faults; having undertaken them, he trains in the training rules. The lesser aggregate of virtue, the greater aggregate of virtue; virtue is the foundation, the beginning, the conduct, the restraint, the control, the mouth, the chief, for the attainment of wholesome dhammas. This is the training in higher virtue.
What is the training in higher mind? Here a bhikkhu, secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unwholesome dhammas, enters and dwells in the first jhāna, which is accompanied by thought (vitakka) and examination (vicāra), with rapture (pīti) and pleasure born of seclusion. With the stilling of thought and examination, he enters and dwells in the second jhāna, which has internal confidence and unification of mind (citta), is without thought and without examination, with rapture and pleasure born of concentration (samādhi). With the fading away of rapture, he dwells equanimous, and mindful and clearly comprehending, and he experiences pleasure with the body; he enters and dwells in the third jhāna, on account of which the noble ones declare: "Equanimous and possessed of mindfulness, he dwells in pleasure." With the abandoning of pleasure and the abandoning of pain, and with the previous passing away of joy and grief, he enters and dwells in the fourth jhāna, which is neither painful nor pleasant and has purity of mindfulness due to equanimity. This is the training in higher mind.
What is the training in higher wisdom? Here a bhikkhu is wise; he is possessed of wisdom directed to arising and passing away, which is noble and penetrative, leading to the complete destruction of suffering (dukkha). He understands as it really is: "This is suffering"; he understands as it really is: "This is the origin of suffering"; he understands as it really is: "This is the cessation of suffering"; he understands as it really is: "This is the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering." He understands as it really is: "These are the taints (āsava)"; he understands as it really is: "This is the origin of the taints"; he understands as it really is: "This is the cessation of the taints"; he understands as it really is: "This is the way of practice leading to the cessation of the taints." This is the training in higher wisdom.
Adverting to these three trainings, one should train; knowing, one should train; seeing, one should train; reviewing, one should train; resolving the mind, one should train; being resolved through faith, one should train; exerting energy, one should train; establishing mindfulness, one should train; concentrating the mind, one should train; understanding with wisdom, one should train; directly knowing what is to be directly known, one should train; fully understanding what is to be fully understood, one should train; abandoning what is to be abandoned, one should train; developing what is to be developed, one should train; realizing what is to be realized, one should train — one should practise, practise thoroughly, and, having undertaken it, conduct oneself accordingly. "Here" (idha): in this view, in this acceptance, in this preference, in this belief, in this Dhamma, in this Discipline, in this Dhamma-and-Discipline, in this teaching, in this holy life, in this Teacher's dispensation, in this personal existence, in this human world. "A person" (jantu): a being, a man … a human. Therefore: "Therefore indeed a person should train right here."
