[1168] "Venerable sir, how many are the benefits (ānisaṃsa) in the learning of the Vinaya (vinayapariyatti)?"
"Upāli, there are these five benefits in the learning of the Vinaya. What five? One's own aggregate of virtue (sīlakkhandha) is well guarded and well protected; one is a refuge for those overcome by remorse (kukkuccapakatānaṃ); one speaks with confidence in the midst of the Saṅgha; one thoroughly refutes opponents in accordance with the Dhamma; one is practicing for the endurance of the true Dhamma (saddhamma). These, Upāli, are the five benefits in the learning of the Vinaya."
