What is the goal of the Nobel Life of Purity? 'Good, good, Friend, Bhadda. You have an enquiring mind; You have sharp intelligence; and you have put a good question. Friend Bhadda, you ask me "Friend Ananda, it has been said: 'Noble Life of Purity, Noble Life of Purity'; Friend Ananda, what constitutes the Noble Life of Purity, what is the goal of the Noble Life of Purity?' Do you not?' 'Yes, I do friend'. The Noble Life of Purity, friend, is only this Ariya Path of Eight Constituents, namely, Right View ... p ... Right Concentration. Friend Bhadda, the goal of the Noble Life of Purity is Nibbana, involving the extinction of attachment. the extinction of hatred and the extinction of bewilderment.'
