1Then Venerable Upāli went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:

2“Sir, may the Buddha please teach me Dhamma in brief. When I’ve heard it, I’ll live alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute.”

“Upāli, you might know that certain things don’t lead solely to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and extinguishment. You should definitely bear in mind that such things are not the teaching, not the training, and not the Teacher’s instructions.

"Ye kho tvaṁ, upāli, dhamme jāneyyāsi:  ‘ime dhammā na ekantanibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṁvattantī’ti; ekaṁsena, upāli, dhāreyyāsi:  ‘neso dhammo neso vinayo netaṁ satthusāsanan’ti.
