347. “In just the same way, Bhikkhus, those beings who come to know and understand the true meaning and depth of The Dhamma being taught, to taste The Dhamma, to personally and directly experience the delicious flavor of Release, are indeed so very few when compared to the massive and countless number of others who do not know nor understand the true meaning and depth of The Dhamma, let alone taste It, or even come close to personally and directly experiencing the delicious flavor of Release itself!

“It is for this reason, Bhikkhus, that you must strive by training yourselves with genuine effort thus:

‘We shall indeed come to know and understand the true meaning of The Dhamma that is taught; to taste The Dhamma; to personally and directly experience the delicious flavor of Release, itself!’

“This is the way Bhikkhus, that you must all strive and practice in This Dhamma and Discipline!”
