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

“Mendicants, there are these three searches. What three? The search for sensual pleasures, the search for continued existence, and the search for a spiritual path. These are the three searches.

The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:

“Stilled, aware, 
a mindful disciple of the Buddha 
understands searches, 
the cause of searches, 

where they cease, 
and the path that leads to their ending. 
With the ending of searches, a mendicant 
is hungerless, quenched.”

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