Hi Yong Peng,
The sequence seems to occur very frequently. I picked the one out of M148 from my MLDB. Thanissaro version online: (he also uses disenchant)
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/canon/sutta/majjhima/mn148.html

Does anyone know how many times (approx.) this sequence occurs in the pali canon?

"He grows disenchanted with the intellect, disenchanted with ideas, ...Disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate. Through dispassion, he is fully released. With full release, there is the knowledge, 'Fully released.' He discerns that 'Birth is ended, the holy life fulfilled, the task done. There is nothing further for this world.'"
That is what the Blessed One said. Gratified, the monks delighted at his words. And while this explanation was being given, the hearts of 60 monks, through no clinging,1 were fully released from fermentation/effluents.
