The Effort for the Mahaparinirvana.
“What is effort? There is a Monk who wants to purify the actions of his body, mouth and mind, and segregates himself from all evil deeds, accumulating all the good deeds. This is effort. Such a person focuses his mind on the six spheres, namely: 1) Buddha, 2) Dharma, 3) Sangha, 4) Shila [the moral precepts], 5) offerings, and 6) sky. This is right thinking. The Samadhi resultant from right thinking is right meditation. Someone who abides in right meditation sees all things as Void. This is right Wisdom. Someone perfect in right Wisdom segregates himself from all the bonds of defilements. This is Emancipation.
The person who got the Emancipation, praises it to all beings and says that this Emancipation is Eternal and Unchanging. This is the correct praising of Emancipation. This is unsurpassed Mahaparinirvana.”
