Hello,
In this discourse at minute marker 4:37, you say
“therefore, the Noble version of samma ditthi is free of cravings and does not have any saññā vipallāsa and that is the first factor in the Noble Eightfold Path. Without the right vision or samma ditthi, one cannot start on the Noble Path. One has to see the unfruitful nature of worldly things and they cannot bring permanent happiness in the long run.”
Does one have to be “free of cravings” to be on the Noble Path or just see the dangers of cravings?
With metta,
Donna
