SN45: Connected Discourses on the Path

SN45:13 A Trainee

1At Sāvatthī. Then a certain bhikkhu approached the Blessed One … Sitting to one side, that bhikkhu said to the Blessed One:

"Venerable sir, it is said, ‘a trainee, a trainee.’ In what way is one a trainee?"


2"Here, bhikkhu, one possesses a trainee's right view.
One possesses a trainee's right intention.
One possesses a trainee's right speech.
One possesses a trainee's right action.
One possesses a trainee's right livelihood.
One possesses a trainee's right effort.
One possesses a trainee's right mindfulness.
One possesses a trainee's right concentration.


It is in this way that one is a trainee."

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami … pe … ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

"‘Sekkho, sekkho’ti, bhante, vuccati. Kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, sekkho hotī"ti?


2"Idha, bhikkhu, sekkhāya sammādiṭṭhiyā samannāgato hoti … pe … sekkhena sammāsamādhinā samannāgato hoti.


Ettāvatā kho, bhikkhu, sekkho hotī"ti.


Tatiyaṁ.
