[1] THUS HAVE I HEARD
Once the Exalted One was dwelling near Sāvatthī.
There the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:
"Monks."
"Yes, lord," they replied, and the Exalted One said:
"Monks, there are these three attainments.[1]
What three?
Attainment of faith,
attainment of virtue,
attainment of insight.
These are the three.
■
Monks, there are these three growths.
What three?
Growth in faith,
growth in virtue,
growth in insight.
These are the three."
