Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesA Vajjian monk visits the Buddha at the Kutagarasala in Vesali, and complains that he has to recite over two hundred and fifty rules twice a month. I cannot stand such training, he says. The Buddha then asks him if he can train himself in three particulars. The monk agrees to do this and is told to develop higher morality, the higher thought and higher insight (adhisila, adhicitta, adhipanna). The monk develops these, and, as a result, gets rid of lust, malice, and delusion. A.i.230f.
