"At Sāvatthī.
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."
