An Untrue Person (1st)

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, I will teach you an untrue person and a true person.

Listen …

And what is an untrue person?

It’s someone who has wrong view, wrong purpose, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong immersion.

This is called an untrue person.

And what is a true person?

It’s someone who has right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion.

This is called a true person.”
