“एकधम्मो, भिक्खवे, बहूपकारो अरियस्स अट्ठङ्गिकस्स मग्गस्स उप्पादाय। कतमो एकधम्मो? यदिदं—कल्याणमित्तता। कल्याणमित्तस्सेतं, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो पाटिकङ्खं—अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेस्सति, अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरिस्सति।
“Ekadhammo, bhikkhave, bahūpakāro ariyassa aṭṭhaṅgikassa maggassa uppādāya. Katamo ekadhammo? Yadidaṁ—kalyāṇamittatā. Kalyāṇamittassetaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno pāṭikaṅkhaṁ—ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāvessati, ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkarissati.
“Bhikkhus, one thing helps give rise to the noble eightfold path. What one thing? It’s good friendship. A bhikkhu with good friends can expect to develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु कल्याणमित्तो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेति, अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सम्मादिट्ठिं भावेति विवेकनिस्सितं विरागनिस्सितं निरोधनिस्सितं वोस्सग्गपरिणामिं …पे… सम्मासमाधिं भावेति विवेकनिस्सितं विरागनिस्सितं निरोधनिस्सितं वोस्सग्गपरिणामिं। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु कल्याणमित्तो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेति, अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोती”ति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇamitto ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāveti, ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkaroti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sammādiṭṭhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ …pe… sammāsamādhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇamitto ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāveti, ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkarotī”ti.
And how does a bhikkhu with good friends develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path? It’s when a bhikkhu develops right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go. That’s how a bhikkhu with good friends develops and cultivates the noble eightfold path.”
