[Someone] says: [Is it] the same [that] r18 is obtained on the seat of awakening, [and is it] the same [that is obtained] in other places?

By this knowledge of [what is] painful and this knowledge of [what is] useless, every suffering [that will be] taken up will be accepted [and] looked at with an even mind. Every happiness [that will be] given up will be accepted. In this way, having reached complete extinction, r21 I will leave this world. Avoiding [what is] unwholesome, doing [what is] wholesome, honoring Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha in (every) respect, acting for the profit of [all] living beings, teaching this Dharma, which is the knowledge of [what is] useless and painful, r22 and establishing [all] beings in awakening, [then] certainly before long every fortune will exist for me and every misery will not exist; [there] will be welfare for myself, welfare for others, and welfare for every living being.
