Whether you are a monastic or a lay follower, the ultimate goal of Buddhism is the same – to be awakened and be free from the repeating cycles of birth, suffering and death. As long as we go along with the stream, we will never break free. But what does it mean to go along with the stream – or against it? How does finally cross over and be free? What are the stages involved? In this sutta, the Buddha uses the metaphor of the stream and the four types of persons to explain.
