[120] "But, friend, might there be … ?" … "There might, friends," the Venerable Sāriputta said. "When, friends, a noble disciple understands clinging (upādāna), understands the origin of clinging, understands the cessation of clinging, and understands the way of practice leading to the cessation of clinging — in that way too, friends, a noble disciple is one of right view, whose view is straight, who is possessed of perfect confidence (aveccappasāda) in the Dhamma, and who has arrived at this true Dhamma.
"And what, friends, is clinging, what is the origin of clinging, what is the cessation of clinging, what is the way of practice leading to the cessation of clinging? There are, friends, these four kinds of clinging: clinging to sensual pleasures (kāmupādāna), clinging to views (diṭṭhupādāna), clinging to rules and observances (sīlabbatupādāna), and clinging to a doctrine of self (attavādupādāna). With the origin of craving (taṇhā) there is the origin of clinging; with the cessation (nirodha) of craving there is the cessation of clinging; and this very Noble Eightfold Path (magga) is the way of practice leading to the cessation of clinging, namely: right view … right concentration (samādhi).
"When, friends, a noble disciple thus understands clinging, thus understands the origin of clinging, thus understands the cessation of clinging, and thus understands the way of practice leading to the cessation of clinging, he, having entirely abandoned the underlying tendency to lust … — in that way too, friends, a noble disciple is one of right view, whose view is straight, who is possessed of perfect confidence in the Dhamma, and who has arrived at this true Dhamma."
