Dutiyapaṭipadāsutta

At Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, I don’t praise wrong practice for laypeople or renunciates. Because of wrong practice, neither laypeople nor renunciates succeed in the system of the skillful teaching. And what’s the wrong practice?

Sāvatthinidānaṁ. “Gihino vāhaṁ, bhikkhave, pabbajitassa vā micchāpaṭipadaṁ na vaṇṇemi. Gihi vā, bhikkhave, pabbajito vā micchāpaṭipanno micchāpaṭipattādhikaraṇahetu nārādhako hoti ñāyaṁ dhammaṁ kusalaṁ. Katamā ca, bhikkhave, micchāpaṭipadā?

It is wrong view, wrong purpose, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong immersion. This is called the wrong practice. I don’t praise wrong practice for lay people or renunciates. Because of wrong practice, neither laypeople nor renunciates succeed in the system of the skillful teaching.

Seyyathidaṁ—micchādiṭṭhi …pe… micchāsamādhi. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, micchāpaṭipadā. Gihino vāhaṁ, bhikkhave, pabbajitassa vā micchāpaṭipadaṁ na vaṇṇemi. Gihi vā, bhikkhave, pabbajito vā micchāpaṭipanno micchāpaṭipattādhikaraṇahetu nārādhako hoti ñāyaṁ dhammaṁ kusalaṁ.

I praise right practice for laypeople and renunciates. Because of right practice, both laypeople and renunciates succeed in the system of the skillful teaching. And what’s the right practice? It is right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion.

Gihino vāhaṁ, bhikkhave, pabbajitassa vā sammāpaṭipadaṁ vaṇṇemi. Gihi vā, bhikkhave, pabbajito vā sammāpaṭipanno sammāpaṭipattādhikaraṇahetu ārādhako hoti ñāyaṁ dhammaṁ kusalaṁ. Katamā ca, bhikkhave, sammāpaṭipadā? Seyyathidaṁ—sammādiṭṭhi …pe… sammāsamādhi.

This is called the right practice. I praise right practice for laypeople and renunciates. Because of right practice, both laypeople and renunciates succeed in the system of the skillful teaching.”

Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, sammāpaṭipadā. Gihino vāhaṁ, bhikkhave, pabbajitassa vā sammāpaṭipadaṁ vaṇṇemi. Gihi vā, bhikkhave, pabbajito vā sammāpaṭipanno sammāpaṭipattādhikaraṇahetu ārādhako hoti ñāyaṁ dhammaṁ kusalan”ti. Catutthaṁ.
