DiscriminationsVidhāsutta

“Mendicants, there are three kinds of discrimination.“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, vidhā. What three?Katamā tisso? One discriminates, thinking that ‘I’m better’ or ‘I’m equal’ or ‘I’m worse’.‘Seyyohamasmī’ti vidhā, ‘sadisohamasmī’ti vidhā, ‘hīnohamasmī’ti vidhā— These are the three kinds of discrimination.imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso vidhā.

The noble eightfold path should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these three kinds of discrimination.Imāsaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tissannaṁ vidhānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabbo. What is the noble eightfold path?Katamo ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo? It’s when a mendicant develops right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go.Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sammādiṭṭhiṁ bhāveti …pe… sammāsamādhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ … This is the noble eightfold path that should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these three kinds of discrimination.”imāsaṁ kho, bhikkhave tissannaṁ vidhānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabbo”ti.
