Samyuktagama (Sanskrit fragments) 749.4

749.4

爾時，世尊告諸比丘：「若無明為前相，故生諸惡不善法。時，隨生無慚、無愧；無慚、無愧生已，隨生邪見；邪見生已，能起邪志、邪語、邪業、邪命、邪方便、邪念、邪定。若起明為前相，生諸善法。時，慚愧隨生，慚愧生已，能生正見，正見生已，起正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定，次第而起。正定起已，聖弟子得正解脫貪欲、瞋恚、愚癡。如是聖弟子得正解脫已，得正知見：『我生已盡，梵行已立，所作已作，自知不受後有。』」

It was then that the Bhagavān addressed the monks, “When ignorance is the first sign, it gives rise to bad and unskillful things. The lack of conscience and modesty then arises as a result. After the lack of conscience and modesty arises, wrong view arises as a result. After wrong view arises, it can produce wrong intent, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong method, wrong mindfulness, and wrong samādhi.

“When the arising of insight is the first sign, it gives rise to good things. Conscience and modesty then arise. After conscience and modesty arise, they can give rise to right view. After right view arises, it produces right intent, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right method, right mindfulness, and right samādhi in sequence. After right samādhi is produced, the noble disciple attains correct liberation from desire, anger, and delusion. After the noble disciple attains liberation in this way, they gain this correct knowledge and vision: ‘My births have been ended, the religious practice has been established, and the task has been done. I myself know that I won’t be subject to a later existence.’”
