In the third chapter of my book, I give textual references for five distinct ways in which
this seems to have taken place:

(1) by hearing a further discourse (e.g. Vin I 13f);

(2) by being exhorted with Dhamma-talk (e.g. Vin I 181f);

(3) by receiving an exhortation in brief (Vin I 18);

(4) by a teaching involving the four verbs of sandasseti, samaadapeti, samuttejeti, and
sampaha.mseti (e.g. D II 42)

(5) by reviewing Dhamma heard (e.g. M I 501).

In addition, I append tables citing occassions upon which various individuals (a) received
the Dhammacakkhu via an anupubbikathaa; and (b) attained arahantship through a further
oral tecahing.
