When the monsoon clouds soaked it with rain, the ropes would readily collapse and rot away.\nIn the same way, when a mendicant develops and cultivates the noble eightfold path their fetters readily collapse and rot away.\nAnd how do they develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path so that their fetters readily collapse and rot away?\nIt’s when a mendicant develops right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go.\nThat’s how they develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path so that their fetters readily collapse and rot away.”"}}]}],"sourceRevision":"afdafa92450cfe7573b280da50382888323666d2","sourceUrl":"https://suttacentral.net/sn45.158/en/sujato","licence":"CC0 1.0","licenceUrl":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/","editionNote":"Full supplied source file; inherited abbreviations are preserved.
