So It Was Said 67 · The Book of the Threes

This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.

“Mendicants, there are these three kinds of sagacity.

What three?

Sagacity of body, speech, and mind.

These are the three kinds of sagacity.”

The Buddha spoke this matter.

On this it is said:

“A sage in body, a sage in speech,

a sage undefiled in mind;

a sage, blessed with sagacity,

has washed off all bad things, they say.”

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
