[1][pts][olds] At Sāvatthī.

"Herein, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu understands aging-and-death, its origin, its cessation, and the way leading to its cessation.

He understands birth ...

existence ...

clinging [44] ...

craving ...

feeling ...

contact ...

the six sense bases ...

name-and-form ...

consciousness ...

volitional formations, their origin, their cessation, and the way leading to their cessation.

"And what, bhikkhus, is aging-and-death?

... (as in preceding sutta) ...

Just this Noble Eightfold Path is the way leading to the cessation of volitional formations; that is, right view ... right concentration.

"When, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu thus understands aging-and-death, its origin, its cessation, and the way leading to its cessation; when he thus understands birth ... existence ... clinging ... craving ... feeling ... contact ... the six sense bases ... name-and-form ... [45] consciousness ... volitional formations, their origin, their cessation, and the way leading to their cessation, he is then called a bhikkhu who is accomplished in view, accomplished in vision, who has arrived at this true Dhamma, who sees this true Dhamma, who possesses a trainee's knowledge, a trainee's true knowledge, who has entered the stream of the Dhamma, a noble one with penetrative wisdom, one who stands squarely before the door to the Deathless."
