But once we have recognized the path, we know that we have a path, happiness becomes possible already. That is why seeing the path is the first element of holiness. And if you have seen the path, you belong to one kind, one of the eight kinds of holy people, because the path is already in you. When Jesus said that, "I am the door, I am the way," he means, "I have the element of holiness in me." You can count on that element, it can be helpful to you, because you take refuge in me, also you can become the door. You can become the path. I am the way. When you see the way, you become the way. And the element of holiness begins to be in you. And when you feel that you are on a path, you know that surely you will arrive. And you are called a stream enterer. And the fruition that you have obtained is a stream enterer. And that is why I said with a lot of conviction that in this assembly there are many of us who have the element of holiness within themselves.

And that element of holiness makes them happy. Holiness here is not a title, it is the substance, the real substance that makes you happy. You know where you go and you know that you are on the right path, that's great happiness. And the second pair is called "Once Returning". [Thay writes on the board.] After some time of practice, you have the impression that you only need to come back once, only once in order to finish the whole business of entanglement and suffering. You're going to be emancipated from all of that. You can get away from it all. This is the last time. You have to go back just once. And finally you get rid of all this kind of entanglement.

And there are those of us who are going into that position, And there are those of us who are already in that position, the second pair. I have to return to this environment of suffering just once more. And after that, it's finished. And that's the second fruition. And those of us who are on the way to reach that is the third category, belong to the third category. And all of us who are already in that fruition, we are the fourth category, in the fourth category. We belong to the second pair of holy people. [Thay writes on the board.] This means heung [Vietnamese sp?], oriented toward it, and this is the fruit you have already obtained. This is the heung, means oriented towards, and here is the fruition. So every pair has the orientation towards and the attainment. This is orientation towards this attainment. And in this assembly, there are those of us who are on the path of attaining the second fruition. And there are those of us who know that we have only to come back once, and after that, finish. And the third pair is "No Returning". We know that we don't have to return to that state of being anymore. "No Returning."
