The blessed Buddha
once said:
Bhikkhus and friends, these four things, when developed and cultivated,
lead to the realization of the fruit of
Stream-entry. What four?
1: Association with excellent
persons,
2: Hearing and learning True
Dhamma,
3: Rational and careful
attention,
4: Praxis in accordance with the
Dhamma.

These four things, when developed
and cultivated,
lead to the realization of the fruit of
Stream-entry ...

Once-returning ...

Non-returning

What four?

1: Association with excellent persons,
2: Hearing & learning True
Dhamma,
3: Rational and careful
attention,
4: Praxis in accordance with the
Dhamma.

These 4 things, when initiated
& trained, lead to penetrative understanding...
These 4 things, when completed, lead to the very final fruit of
Arahat-ship:
Awakening
into Enlightenment,
the very deathless dimension:
Nibbāna
...!
