- © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
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."
