āryamārga (P. ariyamagga; T. 'phags lam འཕགས་ལམ་; C. shengdao་聖道) is translated as "noble path," "superior path," "path of the noble ones," etc.
In the context of the five paths of the Sanskrit tradition, the noble path (āryamārga) begins when a practitioner has their first direct realization of emptiness (sunyata) and enters the path of seeing (darśana-mārga). Hence, the noble path (āryamārga) consists of path of seeing (darśana-mārga), the path of meditation (bhāvanā-mārga) and the path of no-more learning (aśaikṣā-mārga).[1][2]
The noble path (āryamārga) also corresponds to the first three of the four stages of the supramundane path: stream-enterer (srotāpanna), once-returner (sakṛdāgāmin), and non-returner (anāgāmi).[2]
