25. The Five Helpers of Right View

AN 5:25 The Five Helpers of Right View

Translated from the Pali by Nyanaponika Thera and Bhikkhu Bodhi

Right view, O monks, if it is helped by five things, has liberation of mind as its fruit and is rewarded by the fruit of liberation of mind; it has liberation by wisdom as its fruit and is rewarded by the fruit of liberation by wisdom. What are those five things?

Here, monks, right view is helped by virtue, by wide learning, by discussion (of what was learned), by tranquillity and by insight.
