An Adept (1st)
Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
“Sir, they speak of the one called ‘an adept’.
How is an adept mendicant defined?”
“Mendicant, it’s when a mendicant has an adept’s right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right immersion, right knowledge, and right freedom.
That’s how a mendicant is an adept.”
