A Perfected One

At Sāvatthī.

“Bhikkhus, there are these five grasping aggregates. What five? That is, the grasping aggregates of form, feeling, perception, functioning patterns, and consciousness. A bhikkhu comes to be freed by not grasping after truly understanding these five grasping aggregates’ origin, ending, gratification, drawback, and escape. Such a bhikkhu is called a perfected one, with defilements ended, who has completed the spiritual journey, done what had to be done, laid down the burden, achieved their own true goal, utterly ended the fetters of rebirth, and is rightly freed through enlightenment.”
