At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

“Bhikkhū, I will teach you the wrong practice and the right practice.

“Micchāpaṭipadañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi, sammāpaṭipadañca.

Listen …

Taṁ suṇātha.

And what’s the wrong practice?

Katamā ca, bhikkhave, micchāpaṭipadā?

It is wrong view, wrong thought, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong samādhi.

Seyyathidaṁ—micchādiṭṭhi …pe… micchāsamādhi.

This is called the wrong practice.

Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, micchāpaṭipadā.

And what’s the right practice?

Katamā ca, bhikkhave, sammāpaṭipadā?

It is right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right samādhi.

Seyyathidaṁ—sammādiṭṭhi …pe… sammāsamādhi.

This is called the right practice.”

Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, sammāpaṭipadā”ti.
