The First Discourse on Asceticism
35.
At Sāvatthī.
"I will teach you, monks, asceticism and the fruits of asceticism.
Listen to that.
And what, monks, is asceticism?
It is just this noble eightfold path, as follows -
right view, etc.
right concentration.
This is called, monks, asceticism.
And what, monks, are the fruits of asceticism?
The fruition of stream-entry, the fruition of once-returning, the fruition of non-returning, the fruition of arahantship -
these are called, monks, the fruits of asceticism."
The fifth.
