1 “Indeed, O bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu recognizing nibbana [as being] from [something] painful could be endowed with a preferred view that is in conformity [with noble right view] this possibility is not to be found. That one not endowed with a preferred view in conformity with [noble right view] will enter upon the fixed course of rightness, this possibility is not to be found. That one not having entered upon the fixed course of rightness will realize the fruit of sotapatti or the fruit of sakadagami or the fruit of anagami or arahantship, this possibility is not to be found.
