The Buddha teaches on the true teaching, presenting a tenfold teaching for disciples on the path.
“Saddhammañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi asaddhammañca. Taṁ suṇātha …pe… katamo ca, bhikkhave, asaddhammo? Pāṇātipāto …pe… micchādiṭṭhi— ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, asaddhammo.
Katamo ca, bhikkhave, saddhammo? Pāṇātipātā veramaṇī …pe… sammādiṭṭhi— ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, saddhammo”ti.
Tatiyaṁ.
Reference Translation by Bhikkhu Sujato (CC0).
“Saddhammañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi asaddhammañca.
“I will teach you what is the true teaching and what is not the true teaching. …
Taṁ suṇātha …pe…
katamo ca, bhikkhave, asaddhammo?
And what is not the true teaching?
Pāṇātipāto …pe…
Killing living creatures …
micchādiṭṭhi—
wrong view.
ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, asaddhammo.
This is called what is not the true teaching.
Katamo ca, bhikkhave, saddhammo?
And what is the true teaching?
Pāṇātipātā veramaṇī …pe…
Not killing living creatures …
sammādiṭṭhi—
right view.
ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, saddhammo”ti.
This is called the true teaching.”
Tatiyaṁ.
