  5. Four factors of Stream Entry (SN 55.5 & SN 22.83)
  6. Association of people of integrity (Kalyanamitta Sevana)
  7. Listening to True Dhamma (Saddamma Savana)
  8. Appropriate Reflection (Yoniso Manasikara)
  9. Practice in accordance with Dhamma (Dhammanudhamma Patipada)
  10. Knowledge of attainment (Okkantika Samyutta - SN 25.1 to SN 25.10)
  11. Knows & sees Nama - Mentality ( Feeling-Vedana; Perception-Sanna; Volition-Cetana; Contact-Passa & Attention - Manasikara)
  12. Knows & sees Rupa – Materiality {Four Great Elements & the Material Form derived from it (Six Sense Bases)}
