Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names1. Gilana Sutta - There are three types of sick men - those who will not, in any case, recover; those who recover whether looked after or not; those who recover only if properly looked after. Even so, there are three kinds of men - those who will never, whether they hear the Dhamma or not, enter into an assurance of perfection, etc. A.i.120f.

Then follows the Buddhas famous injunction to his followers that they should take no other guide or refuge but the Dhamma and their own selves. S.v.152f.; the sutta is found almost verbatim in D.ii.98f.
