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.
