[306]

[1] Thus have I heard:

Once the Exalted One was dwelling near Sāvatthī,
at Jeta Grove,
in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.

There the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:

"Monks."

"Yes, lord," they replied,
and the Exalted One said:

"Monks, there are these six occasions which cannot become.

What six?

One who has achieved right view
cannot become one who will live without respect,
without regard,
for the Teacher,

one who has achieved right view
cannot become one who will live without respect,
without regard,
for the Dhamma,

one who has achieved right view
cannot become one who will live without respect,
without regard,
for the the Order,

one who has achieved right view
cannot become one who will live without respect,
without regard,
for the the training;

one who has achieved right view
cannot become one who will fall back on the view:
"Nothing matters,'[1]

one who has achieved right view
cannot become one who will beget the eighth state of becoming.[2]

Verily, monks, these are the six occasions which cannot become.'
