[1][bodh] THUS have I heard:

Once the Exalted One was staying near Sāvatthī,
at Jeta Grove,
in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.

Then the Exalted One addressed the monks,
saying:

"Monks."

"Yes, lord," replied those monks to the Exalted One.

The Exalted One said:

"I will teach you, monks, both wrong practice
and right practice.

Do ye listen to it.

And what, monks, is wrong practice?

It is as follows:

Wrong view,
wrong aim,
wrong speech,
wrong action,
wrong living,
wrong effort,
wrong mindfulness
[17] wrong concentration.

This, monks, is called 'wrong practice'.

§

And what, monks, is right practice?

It is as follows:

Right view,
right aim,
right speech,
right action,
right living,
right effort,
right mindfulness
right concentration.

This, monks, is called 'right practice'".
