The Buddha’s Words of Wisdom

Mahã Kotthita asked Venerable Sãriputta: “How many things bring Perfect View into existence?”

“There are two things that bring Perfect View into existence: The words of another and carful attention.”

“How many things furthering Perfect View result in freedom of mind and the advantages of freedom of mind, freedom through wisdom and the advantages of freedom through wisdom?”

“If Perfect View is furthered by five things – virtue, learning, discussion, calm, and vision – freedom of mind and the advantages of freedom of mind, freedom through wisdom and the advantages of freedom through wisdom will result.”
