The Buddha’s Words of Wisdom

And what is the factor of exertion for the utter purification of virtues? In this case, one is virtuous, he undertakes and practices the percepts. This resole is called the complete purification of virtue:

“I will bring to perfection the purification of virtue if it is incomplete, and if it is complete I will supplement it here and there with wisdom.”

This is called the complete purification of virtue. The desire, the effort, the exertion, the endeavor, the persistence, the mindfulness and attention applied to this is called a factor in the complete purification of virtue.
