Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN45: Connected Discourses on the Path

SN45:32 Practice (2)

1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, I will teach you the one practising wrongly and the one practising rightly. Listen to that … .

"And what, bhikkhus, is the one practising wrongly? Here someone is of wrong view … wrong concentration. This is called the one practising wrongly.

"And what, bhikkhus, is the one practising rightly? Here someone is of right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. This is called the one practising rightly." [n.27] Spk: While the former sutta is explained in terms of qualities (dhammavasena), this one is explained in terms of persons (puggalavasena).

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. "Micchāpaṭipannañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi, sammāpaṭipannañca. Taṁ suṇātha.

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, micchāpaṭipanno? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco micchādiṭṭhiko hoti … pe … micchāsamādhi – ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, micchāpaṭipanno.

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, sammāpaṭipanno? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco sammādiṭṭhiko hoti … pe … sammāsamādhi – ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, sammāpaṭipanno"ti.


Dutiyaṁ.
