Note 6 — THE DIAMOND SUTRA
William Gemmell translation
“Not returning, or not being reborn in the world of desire. The third degree of Buddhistic saintship, the third class of Aryas, embracing all those who are no more liable to be reborn as men, though they are to be born once more as Devas, when they will forthwith become Arhats and enter Nirvana.”—Handbook of Chinese Buddhism. Eitel.
“Men devoid of passion, and of malice, and of dulness, men in whom the great evils (lust, becoming, delusion, and ignorance) are not, men who have neither craving thirst, nor grasping desires.”—Questions of King Milinda. T. W. Rhys Davids.
