「復有二法趣向惡趣,復有二法趣向善趣,復有二法趣向涅槃。云何二法趣向惡趣?一謂毀戒,二謂破見。云何二法趣向善趣?一謂戒具,二謂見具。云何二法趣向涅槃?一謂為止,二謂為觀。
“Again, there are two things that lead to bad destinies, two things that lead to good destinies, and two things that lead to Nirvāṇa.
“What are two things that lead to bad destinies? One is violating the precepts, and the second is breaking [right] view.
“What are two things that lead to good destinies? One is perfecting the precepts, and the second is perfecting [right] view.
“What are the two things that lead to Nirvāṇa? One is calmness, and the second in contemplation.
