The Sammādiṭṭhi Sutta, the Discourse on Right View, is the ninth sutta of the Majjhima Nikāya, the Collection of Middle Length Discourses. Its expositor is the Venerable Sāriputta Thera, the Buddha’s chief disciple and the foremost of the Master’s bhikkhu disciples in the exercise of the faculty of wisdom. The Buddha declared that, next to himself, it was the Venerable Sāriputta who excelled in turning the incomparable Wheel of the Dhamma, in expounding in depth and in detail the Four Noble Truths realized with the attainment of enlightenment. In the Sammādiṭṭhi Sutta the great disciple bears ample testimony to the Buddha’s words of praise, bequeathing upon us a discourse that has served as a primer of Buddhist doctrine for generations of monks in the monasteries of South and Southeast Asia.
