[213] And how, bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu, developing the noble eightfold path, cultivating the noble eightfold path, become one who slants towards Nibbāna, slopes towards Nibbāna, inclines towards Nibbāna? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu develops right view, which has as its final end the removal of lust (rāga), the removal of hatred, the removal of delusion … he develops right concentration (samādhi), which has as its final end the removal of lust, the removal of hatred, the removal of delusion. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu, developing the noble eightfold path, cultivating the noble eightfold path, becomes one who slants towards Nibbāna, slopes towards Nibbāna, inclines towards Nibbāna.
(Colophon:) The second set of twelve, on the removal of lust, (with the refrain) "slanting to the ocean."
