「Bhikkhus, there are these four factors for stream-entry. What four? Association with superior persons, hearing the true Dhamma, careful attention, practice in accordance with the Dhamma. These are the four factors for strem-entry.」
上述聖典中,【雜843】經里所謂的「四種入流分」就是【雜1125】經里所說的「四種須陀洹道分」,也相當於相應部【S55:50】經里的 」four factors for stream-entry(法流入口的四個要素)」。兩部對讀之下,可以很清楚地知道所謂「須陀洹道分」就是「初果之道的四個要素」現在就讓我們逐一來了解這四個要素。
