45.13. A Trainee

At SavatthÄ«. Then a certain bhikkhu approached the Blessed One…. Sitting to one side, that bhikkhu said to the Blessed One:

ā€œVenerable sir, it is said, ā€˜a trainee, a trainee.’ In what way is one a trainee?ā€

ā€œHere, bhikkhu, one possesses a trainee’s right view … a trainee’s right concentration. It is in this way that one is a trainee.ā€
