Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN45: Connected Discourses on the Path

SN45:33 Neglected

1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, those who have neglected the Noble Eightfold Path have neglected the noble path [n.28] Though all three eds. have aṭṭhaṅgiko here, I suggest deleting it to bring the wording into conformity with SN46.18 and SN51.2. leading to the complete destruction of suffering. Those who have undertaken the Noble Eightfold Path have undertaken the noble path leading to the complete destruction of suffering. sn.v.24

"And what, bhikkhus, is the Noble Eightfold Path? It is: right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. Those who have neglected this Noble Eightfold Path … Those who have undertaken this Noble Eightfold Path have undertaken the noble path leading to the complete destruction of suffering."

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. "Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo viraddho, viraddho tesaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī. Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo āraddho, āraddho tesaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī.

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo? Seyyathidaṁ – sammādiṭṭhi … pe … sammāsamādhi. Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo viraddho, viraddho tesaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī. Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo āraddho, āraddho tesaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī"ti.


Tatiyaṁ.
