"These two qualities have a share in clear knowing. Which two? Tranquillity (samatha)
& insight (vipassana).
"When tranquillity is developed, what purpose does it serve? The mind is
developed. And when the mind is developed, what purpose does it serve? Passion is
abandoned.
"When insight is developed, what purpose does it serve? Discernment is developed.
And when discernment is developed, what purpose does it serve? Ignorance is
abandoned."
