i know there are many for each step as well as mentions of each step or ideas that fit into each one throughout the canon, obviously every line fits somewhere.
i'm looking for something like the sammaditthi sutta MN 9 is for view, and satipatthana MN 10 is for mindfulness, and anapanasati MN 118 is for right concentration and so on but for each step. or other ideas on what is the single best sutta for each step beyond what i listed above. those are just ones i know of.
so 8 suttas total. each one should completely explain it's step. or whatever you can come up with.
sutta for each step on the eightfold path

Or, if you definitely want to make a "collection" of one sutta per path factor, you could just go to Access to Insight and type that factor into the search function. It will give you a choice of several. If not a whole sutta, a chunk of a sutta which explains it in detail.
Re: sutta for each step on the eightfold path
i'm looking for a completely detailed exposition of each path factor. the sutta you referenced is more like a summary of each item. i'm looking for each path factor to be exhausted. i have done that on access but there are many to choose from and i want the opinions of people on here on which ones would be the best choices.Sam Vara wrote:Why not go for them all in one hit, with the Magga-Vibhanga Sutta?alan... wrote:i know there are many for each step as well as mentions of each step or ideas that fit into each one throughout the canon, obviously every line fits somewhere.

Re: sutta for each step on the eightfold path
A rather exhaustive sutta on right (mostly wrong) livelihood for a bhikkhu is here: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... livelihood" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
For lay people right livelihood seems much simpler: "Monks, a lay follower should not engage in five types of business. Which five? Business in weapons, business in human beings, business in meat, business in intoxicants, and business in poison.
"These are the five types of business that a lay follower should not engage in."
Also, being an actor or a soldier seems to be no bueno as well: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/ptf/dham ... index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
But I think this link on access to insight is probably better than any compilation you'll get on here, although I wish you luck: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/ptf/dham ... index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

"I don't envision a single thing that, when developed & cultivated, leads to such great benefit as the mind. The mind, when developed & cultivated, leads to great benefit."
"I don't envision a single thing that, when undeveloped & uncultivated, brings about such suffering & stress as the mind. The mind, when undeveloped & uncultivated, brings about suffering & stress."
