Missed Out Viraddhasutta

At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

“Mendicants, whoever has missed out on the noble eightfold path has missed out on the noble path to the complete ending of suffering. “Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo viraddho, viraddho tesaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī. Whoever has undertaken the noble eightfold path has undertaken the noble path to the complete ending of suffering. Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo āraddho, āraddho tesaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī.

And what is the noble eightfold path? Katamo ca, bhikkhave, ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo? It is right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion. Seyyathidaṁ—sammādiṭṭhi …pe… sammāsamādhi.

Whoever has missed out on the noble eightfold path has missed out on the noble path to the complete ending of suffering. Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo viraddho, viraddho tesaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī. Whoever has undertaken the noble eightfold path has undertaken the noble path to the complete ending of suffering.” Yesaṁ kesañci, bhikkhave, ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo āraddho, āraddho tesaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo sammā dukkhakkhayagāmī”ti.

Tatiyaṁ.
