The Buddha teaches on the teaching of the true persons, presenting a tenfold teaching for disciples on the path.
“Sappurisadhammañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi asappurisadhammañca. Taṁ suṇātha …pe… katamo ca, bhikkhave, asappurisadhammo? Pāṇātipāto …pe… micchādiṭṭhi— ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, asappurisadhammo.
Katamo ca, bhikkhave, sappurisadhammo? Pāṇātipātā veramaṇī …pe… sammādiṭṭhi— ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, sappurisadhammo”ti.
Catutthaṁ.
