SN45:13 A Trainee
- DG BB TBW © 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 … 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.
