Teaching Of The Buddha (5)

Of paths, the path of Eight Constituents is the noblest; of truths, the Four Noble Truths are the noblest; of the dhammas, the absence of craving (ie.,Nibbana) is the noblest; of the two-legged beings, the All-seeing Buddha is the noblest. This is the only path, and there is none other for the purity of vision. Follow this path; it will bewilder Mara.
Following this Path, you will make an end of dukkha. having myself known the Path which can lead to the removal of the thorns of moral defilements, I have shown you the Path. You yourselves should make the effort; the Tathagatas (Buddhas) can only show the way. Those who practise the Tranquillity and Insight Meditation are freed from the bond of Mara.
