Editor’s Note

This edition is based on that translated by U Saw Tun Teik, BA, BI, published by Mr Stanley Davidson in 1984.

I have removed many Pāli words, and simplified the language to make it easier to read for those who are not Pāli scholars.

If one could acquire a thorough grasp of the factors of the Noble Eightfold Path as explained here, it would be sufficient to remove any wrong views about the Dhamma.

If the readers could go one step further, and apply the advice given, they would begin the practise of insight meditation in earnest, and thus acquire the seeds of insight that would stand them in good stead for the realisation of nibbāna in this very life, or at least during the sāsana of Maitreyya Buddha.
