The Divine Tracks for the mental Purification of Beings!
At
Sāvatthi
the Blessed
Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus and Friends: There are these 4 divine tracks, which
all the devas
have gone by in order to become divine, which is leading to the divine state,
for the purging, cleaning and purification of all the beings here who have
not
been purged, cleaned, and purified. Which are these four tracks?
Bhikkhus, any
Noble Disciple has unshakable
Faith in the
Three Jewels thus:
1: Worthy,
honourable & perfectly self-Enlightened is really the
Buddha!
...
2: Perfectly formulated is the
Dhamma, visible here & now, immediate...
3: Perfectly training is this
Noble
Sangha of the
Buddha's
Noble disciples...
4: Any
Noble controls
Morality esteemed by
Noble Ones: Unbroken, pure...
These are the
four divine tracks, for the purging, cleaning & purification of all
the good beings here who have not been purged, cleaned, & finally purified!
