Connected Discourses on the Path

13. A Trainee

At Savatthī. Then a certain bhikkhu approached the Blessed One…. Sitting to one side, that bhikkhu said to the Blessed One:

“Venerable sir, it is said, ‘a trainee, a trainee.’ In what way is one a trainee?”

“Here, bhikkhu, one possesses a trainee’s right view ... a trainee’s right concentration. It is in this way that one is a trainee.”
