[123] "But might there be, friend, … ?" … "There might, friends," the Venerable Sāriputta said. "When, friends, a noble disciple understands contact (phassa), understands the origin of contact, understands the cessation of contact, and understands the way of practice leading to the cessation of contact — to that extent too, friends, a noble disciple is one of right view (sammādiṭṭhi), whose view is straight, who is endowed with unwavering confidence (aveccappasāda) in the Dhamma, and who has arrived at this true Dhamma (saddhamma).
"And what, friends, is contact? What is the origin of contact? What is the cessation of contact? What is the way of practice leading to the cessation of contact? There are, friends, these six classes of contact: eye-contact, ear-contact, nose-contact, tongue-contact, body-contact, and mind-contact. With the origin of the six sense bases (saḷāyatana) there is the origin of contact; with the cessation of the six sense bases there is the cessation of contact; and this very Noble Eightfold Path is the way of practice leading to the cessation of contact, namely: right view … right concentration (samādhi).
"When, friends, a noble disciple thus understands contact, thus understands the origin of contact, thus understands the cessation of contact, and thus understands the way of practice leading to the cessation of contact, he, having entirely abandoned the underlying tendency to lust (rāgānusaya), … — to that extent too, friends, a noble disciple is one of right view, whose view is straight, who is endowed with unwavering confidence in the Dhamma, and who has arrived at this true Dhamma."
