The Accomplishment in Wise Attention Discourse
55.
"For the rising of the sun, monks, this is the forerunner, this is the advanced sign, that is to say -
the break of dawn;
so too, monks, for a monk, for the arising of the noble eightfold path, this is the forerunner, this is the advanced sign, that is to say -
accomplishment in wise attention.
For a monk accomplished in wise attention, monks, this is to be expected -
he will develop the noble eightfold path, he will cultivate the noble eightfold path.
And how, monks, does a monk accomplished in wise attention develop the noble eightfold path, cultivate the noble eightfold path?
Here, monks, a monk develops right view, based upon seclusion, based upon dispassion, based upon cessation, maturing in release, etc.
he develops right concentration, based upon seclusion, based upon dispassion, based upon cessation, maturing in release.
Thus, monks, a monk accomplished in wise attention develops the noble eightfold path, cultivates the noble eightfold path."
