Pubbaṅgama sutta: Forerunner

“Mendicants, the dawn is the forerunner and harbinger of the sunrise. In the same way right view is the forerunner and harbinger of skillful qualities. Right view produces right purpose. Right purpose produces right speech. Right speech produces right action. Right action produces right livelihood. Right livelihood produces right effort. Right effort produces right mindfulness. Right mindfulness produces right immersion. Right immersion produces right knowledge. Right knowledge produces right freedom.”
