[10] "And how, Sāriputta, does a bhikkhu who has good friends (kalyāṇamitta), good companions, and good comrades develop the noble eightfold path (ariya aṭṭhaṅgika magga), how does he cultivate the noble eightfold path? Here, Sāriputta, a bhikkhu develops right view (sammādiṭṭhi), which is based upon seclusion (viveka), based upon dispassion (virāga), based upon cessation (nirodha), maturing in release (vossagga) … he develops right concentration (samādhi) (sammāsamādhi), which is based upon seclusion, based upon dispassion, based upon cessation, maturing in release. It is in this way, Sāriputta, that a bhikkhu who has good friends, good companions, and good comrades develops the noble eightfold path and cultivates the noble eightfold path."
