The Five Methods 273Exertion is the fourfold right exertion. Right Mindfulness means the fourfoundations of mindfulness. Right Concentration is the fourfold meditation,jhana. 1And again, if a man practises the Noble Path, he sees Nibbdna—this iscalled Right View. He awakes only in Nibbdna—this is called Right Thought.He abandons wrong speech—this is Right Speech. He rejects wrong doing—this is Right Action. He gives up wrong livelihood—this is Right Livelihood.He abandons wrong exertion—this is Right Exertion. He recalls Nibbdnato mind—this is Right Mindfulness. He concentrates on Nibbdna—this isRight Concentration. Here, the faculty of wisdom, the power of wisdom,the basis of supernormal power of scrutiny and the enlightenment factorof the investigation of states accomplish the entry into internal Right View.The faculty of exertion, the power of exertion, the basis of supernormal powerof exertion, the basis of supernormal power of will, the enlightenment factor ofexertion, and the fourfold right exertion accomplish the entry into internalRight Effort.
