SN.45.37. Paṭhamabrahmaññasutta ("The Brahmin Life, 1st")
Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, I will teach you life as a brahmin and the fruits of life as a brahmin. Listen …
And what is life as a brahmin? It is simply this noble eightfold path, that is: right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion. This is called life as a brahmin.
And what are the fruits of life as a brahmin? The fruits of stream-entry, once-return, non-return, and perfection. These are called the fruits of life as a brahmin.”
