And what is the demonstration of instruction? It’s when a mendicant instructs others like this: ‘Think like this, not like that. Focus your mind like this, not like that. Give up this, and live having achieved that.’ This is called the demonstration of instruction.

Furthermore, a Realized One arises in the world … That’s how a mendicant is accomplished in ethics. … They enter and remain in the first absorption … This is called the demonstration of instruction.

They enter and remain in the second absorption … third absorption … fourth absorption. This too is called the demonstration of instruction.

They extend and project the mind toward knowledge and vision … This too is called the demonstration of instruction.

They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’ This too is called the demonstration of instruction.

These, Kevaddha, are the three kinds of demonstration, which I declare having realized them with my own insight.
