This episode is a narration of the 41st Sutta of the Middle Discourses of the Buddha, The Sāleyyaka Sutta, which translates as “The People of Sālā ”. In this discourse the Buddha explains to a group of brahmins the conduct leading to rebirth in higher or lower states, including detailed explanations of the ten core practices which lay people should undertake, and which also form the basis for liberation.

This translation of the Saleyyaka Sutta is by Bhikkhu Sujato and was sourced from Sutta Central.
