1At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, I will teach you life as a brahmin and the goal 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 is the goal of life as a brahmin? The ending of greed, hate, and delusion. This is called the goal of life as a brahmin.”

1Sāvatthi­nidānaṁ.

"Brahmaññañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi, brahmaññatthañca. Taṁ suṇātha.

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

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, brahmaññattho? Yo kho, bhikkhave, rāgakkhayo dosakkhayo mohakkhayo – ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, brahmaññattho"ti.

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
