[306]

[1] Thus have I heard:

Once the Exalted One was dwelling near Sāvatthī,
at Jeta Grove,
in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.

There the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:

"Monks."

"Yes, lord," they replied,
and the Exalted One said:

"Monks, there are these six occasions which cannot become.

What six?

One who has achieved right view
cannot become one who will live without respect,
without regard,
for the Teacher,

■

one who has achieved right view
cannot become one who will live without respect,
without regard,
for the Dhamma,

■

one who has achieved right view
cannot become one who will live without respect,
without regard,
for the the Order,

■

one who has achieved right view
cannot become one who will live without respect,
without regard,
for the the training;

■

one who has achieved right view
cannot become one who will fall back on the view:
"Nothing matters,'[1]

■

one who has achieved right view
cannot become one who will beget the eighth state of becoming.[2]

Verily, monks, these are the six occasions which cannot become.'
