He whose destiny neither the gods nor demigods nor men do
know, he who has destroyed defilements and become worthy,
him I call a brahman.

He who knows former lives, who sees heaven and hell, who
has reached the end of births and attained to super-knowledge,
the sage, accomplished with all accomplishments, him I call a
brahman.

Then the Blessed One addressed the Venerable Ananda: 'It
may be, Ananda, that to some of you the thought may come:
"Here are (we have) the Words of the Teacher who is gone

; our
Teacher we have with us no more". But Ananda, it should not
be considered in this light. What I have taught and laid down,
Ananda, as Doctrine (Dhamma) and Discipline (Vinaya), this will
be your teacher when I am gone.
