[213] Therein, what is the practice leading to the cessation of suffering (dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā)?
Here, on the occasion when a bhikkhu develops supramundane (lokuttara) jhāna — leading out (niyyānika), conducing to dispersal (apacayagāmī) — for the abandoning of wrong views (diṭṭhigata), for the attainment of the first stage (bhūmi): quite secluded from sensual pleasures … he enters upon and dwells in the first jhāna, of painful practice and sluggish direct knowledge (dukkhāpaṭipadaṃ dandhābhiññaṃ) — on that occasion there is the five-factored path (magga): right view (sammādiṭṭhi), right thought (sammāsaṅkappa), right effort (sammāvāyāma), right mindfulness (sammāsati), right concentration (sammāsamādhi). This is called the practice leading to the cessation of suffering. The remaining phenomena (dhammā) are associated with the practice leading to the cessation of suffering.
