A TraineeSekkhasutta

At Sāvatthī.Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha … and asked him,Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami …pe… ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “Sir, they speak of the one called ‘a trainee’.“‘sekkho, sekkho’ti, bhante, vuccati. How is a trainee defined?”Kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, sekkho hotī”ti?

“Mendicant, it’s someone who has a trainee’s right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion.“Idha, bhikkhu, sekkhāya sammādiṭṭhiyā samannāgato hoti …pe… sekkhena sammāsamādhinā samannāgato hoti. That’s how a trainee is defined.”Ettāvatā kho, bhikkhu, sekkho hotī”ti.
