Kimsîlasutta How To Obtain The Highest Good “By what virtue, by what conduct, and performing what works, will a man be perfectly established in the commandments and obtain the highest good? Let him honor old people, not be envious, let him know the right time for seeing his Teachers, let him know the right moment for listening to Their religious discourses, let him assiduously hearken to Their well-spoken words. Let him in due time go to the presence of his Teachers, let him be humble after casting away obstinacy, let him remember and practice what is good, the Dhamma, self-restraint, and chastity. Let his pleasure be the Dhamma, let him delight in the Dhamma, let him stand fast in the Dhamma, let him know how to enquire into the Dhamma, let him not raise any dispute that pollutes the Dhamma, and let him spend his time in speaking well-spoken truths.

How he was liberated, that we want to hear.’ The Blessed One: ‘He cut off the desire for name and form in this world,’ – so said the Blessed One, – ‘Kanha’s, that is, Mâra’s stream, adhered to for a long time, he crossed completely birth and death,’ so said the Blessed One, the best of the five Brâhmanas [sages].
