This, bhikṣus, is the noble path with eight parts. “Among these, what is right view? It is supramundane; arisen from the view of no-self; not arisen from the view of a sentient being, of a living being, of a nourishing being, of a man, of a person, of a descendant of Manu, or of a human being; not arisen from the view of cutting off or eternality; not arisen from the view of existence or nonexistence; not arisen from the view of the virtuous, nonvirtuous, or undetermined; and not arisen from the view of saṃsāra or nirvāṇa. This is called right view. “Among these, what is right thought? One does not think those thoughts due to which the afflictions of desire, aversion, and confusion rise up. One thinks those thoughts due to which the aggregates of discipline, samādhi, wisdom, liberation,⁷⁰ and the vision of awareness of liberation rise up. This is called right thought.⁷¹ “Among these, what is right speech? One is endowed with the speech through which one does not torment oneself or others, one does not afflict oneself or others, and one does not do wrong to oneself or others, the speech that is conducive to what the noble ones find fit, with expressions of samādhi and joy. This is called right speech.⁷² “Among these, what is right activity? One does not perform karma that is black and has black maturation. One performs karma that is white and has white maturation. - [Previous: 20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.arthaviniscayasutra*bo~en-84000.20) - [Next: 22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.arthaviniscayasutra*bo~en-84000.22) ## Linked texts (1) - [དོན་རྣམ་པར་ངེས་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་ཆོས་ཀྱི་རྣམ་གྲངས](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.arthaviniscayasutra*bo.21) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.arthaviniscayasutra*bo~en-84000.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.arthaviniscayasutra*bo~en-84000.21) · Pramāṇa
