The Eye: Cakkhu Sutta
 |
| The eye that see, the third eye that knows? |
“One who has confidence and conviction that these phenomena are this way is called a faith-follower: one who has entered the right path, entered the plane of the noble ones, transcended the plane of the ordinary uninstructed worldlings.
“Such a person is now incapable of doing any deed (karma) by which one might be reborn in hell, in an animal womb, or in the realm of hungry ghosts. One is incapable of passing away until one has realized the fruit of stream-entry (the first stage of enlightenment).
“One who, after contemplating with even a small amount of wisdom (discernment), has accepted that these phenomena are this way is called a Dharma-follower: one who has entered the right path, entered the plane of the noble ones, transcended the plane of ordinary uninstructed worldlings. One is incapable of doing any deed by which one might be reborn in hell, in an animal womb, or in the realm of hungry ghosts. One is incapable of passing away until one has realized the fruit of stream-entry.
“One who knows-and-sees that these phenomena are this way is called a stream-enterer, steadfast, never again destined for [subhuman] states of woe, headed for full awakening.”
