an10.120:1.2 Listen and apply your mind well, I will speak. …
an10.120:1.3 And what is the noble descent?
an10.120:1.4 It’s when a noble disciple reflects:
an10.120:1.5 ‘Wrong view has a bad result
an10.120:1.6 in both this life and the next.’
an10.120:1.7 Reflecting like this, they give up wrong view,
an10.120:1.8 they descend from wrong view.
an10.120:1.9 ‘Wrong purpose has a bad result …’ …
an10.120:1.10 ‘Wrong speech …’ …
an10.120:1.11 ‘Wrong action …’ …
an10.120:1.12 ‘Wrong livelihood …’ …
an10.120:1.13 ‘Wrong effort …’ …
an10.120:1.14 ‘Wrong mindfulness …’ …
an10.120:1.15 ‘Wrong immersion …’ …
an10.120:1.16 ‘Wrong knowledge …’ …
an10.120:1.17 ‘Wrong freedom has a bad result
an10.120:1.18 in both this life and the next.’
an10.120:1.19 Reflecting like this, they give up wrong freedom,
an10.120:1.20 they descend from wrong freedom.
an10.120:1.21 This is called the noble descent.”
