The Buddha teaches on leading to accumulation, presenting a tenfold teaching for disciples on the path.
“Ācayagāmiñca vo, bhikkhave, dhammaṁ desessāmi apacayagāmiñca. Taṁ suṇātha …pe… katamo ca, bhikkhave, ācayagāmī dhammo? Pāṇātipāto …pe… micchādiṭṭhi— ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ācayagāmī dhammo.
Katamo ca, bhikkhave, apacayagāmī dhammo? Pāṇātipātā veramaṇī …pe… sammādiṭṭhi— ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, apacayagāmī dhammo”ti.
Navamaṁ.
