45. Maggasaṁyutta: On the Path

IV. Practice — SN45.37: The Brahmin Life (1st)

1At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, I will teach you life as a brahmin and the fruits of life as a brahmin. Listen …

And what is life as a brahmin? It is simply this noble eightfold path, that is: right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion. This is called life as a brahmin.

And what are the fruits of life as a brahmin? The fruits of stream-entry, once-return, non-return, and perfection. These are called the fruits of life as a brahmin.”

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

"Brahmaññañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi, brahmaññaphalāni ca. Taṁ suṇātha.

Katamañca kho, bhikkhave, brahmaññaṁ? Ayameva ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo, seyyathidaṁ – sammādiṭṭhi … pe … sammāsamādhi. Idaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, brahmaññaṁ.

Katamāni ca, bhikkhave, brahmaññaphalāni? Sotāpattiphalaṁ, sakadāgāmiphalaṁ, anāgāmiphalaṁ, arahattaphalaṁ – imāni vuccanti, bhikkhave, brahmaññaphalānī"ti.

Sattamaṁ.
