4 Things Open the Entrance Streaming right to Nibbâna!


The blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus and friends, these four things, when developed and cultivated,

to the realization of the fruit of Stream-entry. What four?
1: Association with excellent persons,
2
: Hearing and learning True Dhamma,
3: Rational and careful attention,
4: Praxis in accordance with the Dhamma.
