WHEN IS THE WAY TO THE DEATHLESS ELEMENT OPENED?

When is the Way to the Deathless element Opened?
The Blessed Buddha once said:
Bhikkhus and friends, these 8 things, purified, cleansed, immaculate, free from distortion,
elegant and sophisticated, if not arisen do not arise at all except from the appearance of a
Tath
āgata, an Arahat, a Perfectly Enlightened One, or outside a Well-Gone-One’s Discipline!
What eight? 
1: Right View  (sammā-ditthi)
2: Right Motivation  (sammā-sankappa)
3: Right Speech  (sammā-vācā)
4: Right Action  (sammā-kammanta)
5: Right Livelihood  (sammā-ājīva)
6: Right Effort  (sammā-vāyāma)
7: Right Awareness  (sammā-sati)
8: Right Concentration  (sammā-samādhi)
These 8 things, purified, cleared, faultless, unaltered and not decayed, advanced and refined,
if not emerged do not appear, except when a Thus-Come-Thus-Gone One, a Worthy One,
a Perfectly Self-Awakened One emerges, except for when the Method of Training of a
Well-Gone One is well established… Just these 8 immaculate Things…

Rare is emergence of this fine path & method!
