[593] The five-factored path (pañcaṅgiko maggo): right view (sammādiṭṭhi), right thought (sammāsaṅkappa), right effort (sammāvāyāma), right mindfulness (sammāsati), and right concentration (sammāsamādhi).
Therein, what is right view?
Here a bhikkhu, on the occasion when he develops the supramundane jhāna (lokuttaraṃ jhānaṃ) — leading out [of the round] (niyyānika), going to dispersal (apacayagāmī) — for the abandoning of views (diṭṭhigata), for the attainment of the first stage (paṭhamā 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 contact (phassa) … there is non-distraction (avikkhepa): these phenomena (dhammā) are wholesome (kusala).
Because that same supramundane wholesome jhāna has been done, has been developed, as [its] result (vipāka): quite secluded from sensual pleasures … he enters upon and dwells in the first jhāna, of painful practice and sluggish direct knowledge, and of emptiness (suññata). That which on that occasion is wisdom (paññā), understanding (pajānanā), … non-delusion (amoha), investigation of dhammas (dhammavicaya), right view, the investigation-of-dhammas factor of awakening (dhammavicaya-sambojjhaṅga) — a path factor (maggaṅga), included in the path (maggapariyāpanna) — this is called right view. The remaining phenomena are associated (sampayutta) with right view. … The remaining phenomena are associated with right thought. … The remaining phenomena are associated with right effort. … The remaining phenomena are associated with right mindfulness.

That which on that occasion is stability (ṭhiti) of the mind (citta), steadiness (saṇṭhiti), steadfastness (avaṭṭhiti), non-wavering (avisāhāra), non-distraction (avikkhepa), the state of an unwavering mind (avisāhaṭamānasatā), calm (samatha), the faculty of concentration (samādhindriya), the power of concentration (samādhibala), right concentration, the concentration factor of awakening (samādhi-sambojjhaṅga) — a path factor, included in the path — this is called right concentration. The remaining phenomena are associated with right concentration.
