[1] Thus have I heard:
On a certain occasion the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:
"Monks."
"Yes, lord," they replied, and the Exalted One said:
"Monks, there are these four essences.
What four?
The essence of virtue,
the essence of concentration,
the essence of wisdom,
the essence of release.
These are the four essences."
