The Discourse on Space

"Just as, monks, in space various winds blow -
eastern winds blow, western winds blow, northern winds blow, southern winds blow, dusty winds blow, dust-free winds blow, cold winds blow, hot winds blow, slight winds blow, exceeding winds blow;
so too, monks, for a monk developing the noble eightfold path, cultivating the noble eightfold path, the four establishments of mindfulness also go to fulfilment through development, the four right strivings also go to fulfilment through development, the four bases for spiritual power also go to fulfilment through development, the five faculties also go to fulfilment through development, the five powers also go to fulfilment through development, the seven factors of enlightenment also go to fulfilment through development.
And how, monks, for a monk developing the noble eightfold path, cultivating the noble eightfold path, do the four establishments of mindfulness also go to fulfilment through development, the four right strivings also go to fulfilment through development, the four bases for spiritual power also go to fulfilment through development, the five faculties also go to fulfilment through development, the five powers also go to fulfilment through development, the seven factors of enlightenment also go to fulfilment through development?
Here, monks, a monk develops right view, etc.
he develops right concentration, based upon seclusion, based upon dispassion, based upon cessation, maturing in release, etc.
Thus, monks, for a monk developing the noble eightfold path, cultivating the noble eightfold path, the four establishments of mindfulness also go to fulfilment through development, the four right strivings also go to fulfilment through development, the four bases for spiritual power also go to fulfilment through development, the five faculties also go to fulfilment through development, the five powers also go to fulfilment through development, the seven factors of enlightenment also go to fulfilment through development."
