769.6

佛告阿難：「是世人乘，非我法、律婆羅門乘也。阿難！我正法、律乘、天乘、婆羅門乘、大乘，能調伏煩惱軍者，諦聽，善思，當為汝說。阿難！何等為正法、律乘、天乘、婆羅門乘、大乘，能調伏煩惱軍者？謂八正道——正見乃至正定。阿難！是名正法、律乘、天乘、梵乘、大乘，能調伏煩惱軍者。」

The Buddha told Ānanda, “That was a worldly person’s vehicle, not the Brahma vehicle of my teaching and discipline. Ānanda, my vehicle of the right teaching and discipline is the divine vehicle, the Brahma vehicle, and the great vehicle, which can control the army of afflictions. Listen closely and consider this well. I will explain it for you.

“Ānanda, what is the vehicle of the right teaching and discipline, the divine vehicle, the Brahma vehicle, and the great vehicle, which can control the army of afflictions? That refers to the right eightfold path, which is right view … right samādhi. Ānanda, this is called the vehicle of the right teaching and discipline, the divine vehicle, the Brahma vehicle, and the great vehicle, which can control the army of afflictions.”
