arrived at such true knowledge, right view emerges. For one of right view,
right motivation improves. For one of right motivation, right speech evolves.
For one of right speech, right action springs up. For one of right action, right
livelihood comes into being. For one of right livelihood, right effort arises.
For one of right effort, right awareness appears. For one of right
Awareness,
right
Concentration develops.

and
cultivate this Noble 8-fold Way? Here, friends, a person develops right view,

elimination of all greed, the full eradication of all hate, and the
final luminous
ceasing of all ignorance...
