1 “This, O bhikkhus, is the forerunner, this is the fore sign for the arising of the sun, that is, the end of dawn. So too, O bhikkhus, this is the forerunner, this is the fore sign of a bhikkhu's arising of the noble eight-fold path, that is, accomplishment in attention to the root source. For a bhikkhu accomplished in attention to the root source, O bhikkhus, it is to be expected that he will enculturate the noble eight-fold path, that he will make abundant the noble eight-fold path.”
2 And how, O bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu accomplished in attention to the root source enculturate the noble eight-fold path, makes abundant the noble eight-fold path?
3 Here, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu enculturates right view, in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment. He enculturates right thought, in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment. He enculturates right speech, in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment. He enculturates right action, in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment. He enculturates right livelihood, in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment. He enculturates right effort, in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment. He enculturates right mindfulness, in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment. He enculturates right samadhi, in dependence on seclusion, in dependence on fading away, in dependence on cessation, maturing in relinquishment.
4 “It is in this way, O bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu accomplished in attention to the root source, enculturates the noble eight-fold path, makes abundant the noble eight-fold path.”
