The Buddha teaches on the noble path, presenting a tenfold teaching for disciples on the path.
“Ariyamaggañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi anariyamaggañca. Taṁ suṇātha …pe… katamo ca, bhikkhave, anariyo maggo? Pāṇātipāto …pe… micchādiṭṭhi— ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, anariyo maggo.
Katamo ca, bhikkhave, ariyo maggo? Pāṇātipātā veramaṇī …pe… sammādiṭṭhi— ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ariyo maggo”ti.
Paṭhamaṁ.
