The way to become an Ariya is to practice Noble Eightfold Path. In this Dhamma talk Ven. Dhammavudho Thero emphasised the importance of studying or listening to the original teaching of the Buddha in order to gain right view. Right view is the first factor in Noble Eightfold Path. Without gaining right view you have not entered the Noble Eightfold Path even if you have been practising other factors for many years... you will not be making progress. Website: www.vbgnet.org
