dn19:61.1 “I remember, Pañcasikha.
dn19:61.2 I myself was the brahmin Great Steward at that time.
dn19:61.3 And I taught those disciples the path to rebirth in the company of Divinity.
dn19:61.4 But that spiritual path of mine doesn’t lead to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and extinguishment. It only leads as far as rebirth in the realm of divinity.
dn19:61.5 But this spiritual path does lead to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and extinguishment.
dn19:61.6 And what is the spiritual path that leads to extinguishment?
dn19:61.7 It is simply this noble eightfold path, that is:
dn19:61.8 right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion.
dn19:61.9 This is the spiritual path that leads to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and extinguishment.
