At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

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

“Micchāpaṭipattiñca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi, sammāpaṭipattiñca.

Listen …

Taṁ suṇātha.

And what’s the wrong practice?

Katamā ca, bhikkhave, micchāpaṭipatti?

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, micchāpaṭipatti.

And what’s the right practice?

Katamā ca, bhikkhave, sammāpaṭipatti?

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, sammāpaṭipattī”ti.
