Saṃyutta Nikāya 45
Connected Discourses on the Path
97–102. The Ocean
“Bhikkhus, just as the river Ganges … … whatever great rivers there are … all slant, slope, and incline towards the ocean, so too a bhikkhu who develops and cultivates the Noble Eightfold Path slants, slopes, and inclines towards Nibbāna.”
Complete as in §§91–96.
