1 “O bhikkhus, I do not praise the wrong path to tread for either a lay person or of one gone forth. Whether a lay person, O bhikkhus, or one gone forth has entered upon the wrong path, wrong practice is the reason and cause that one does not achieve the know-how, the Dhamma that is wholesome. And what, O bhikkhus, is the wrong path to tread? That is: wrong view, wrong thought, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, wrong samadhi. This is called, O bhikkhus, the wrong way to tread. O bhikkhus, I do not praise the wrong path to tread for either a lay person or of one gone forth. Whether a lay person, O bhikkhus, or one gone forth has entered upon the wrong path, wrong practice is the reason and cause that one does not achieve the know-how, the Dhamma that is wholesome.
