|---|
| 1. | The cure of suffering is to rid oneself of selfish desire. |
| 2. | This is the way to liberation: to act but without greed for success, free from the wish to harm any body and reason. |
| 3. | Whatever deed has been performed without greed, without hatred and free from delusion......after greed, hatred (and) delusion were done away with -- this deed is annihilated, cut off at the root, made similar to a rooted-out palm tree, prevented from becoming, in future not subject to the law of becoming. |
| 4. | The path which leads to calm and insight: 1. right understanding 2. right thought 3. right speech 4. right action 5. right livelihood 6. right effort 7. right mindfulness 8. right concentration |
| 5. | There is no concentration to one who lacks wisdom, nor is there wisdom to him who lacks concentration. In whom are both concentration and wisdom, he is in the presence of liberation. |
