Why this discourse
This discourse pushes AN 10.123's exclusivity claim one step further back: not merely that the ten factors lack purity outside this training, but that they don't even come into existence at all anywhere else.
Reading guide
The teaching in one sentence
The ten right factors, from right view to right freedom, don't arise anywhere except within the Holy One's own training.
A stronger claim than purity alone
Where AN 10.123 claimed the ten factors lack purity outside this training — leaving open, in principle, that some lesser or partial version might exist elsewhere — this discourse denies their very arising: nothing resembling these ten factors comes into existence at all outside the Buddha's teaching.
The same ten factors, a sharpened denial
The list itself is completely unchanged from AN 10.123; only the verb attached to it shifts, from “purified” to “arise,” illustrating this chapter's method: minimal variation in wording carrying real philosophical weight from one discourse to the next.
Second of five distinct claims
As the second claim in the sequence AN 10.123 through 10.127 will complete, this discourse's specific wording — “don't arise” — will itself return later in the chapter, combined with a further condition at AN 10.128.
Key terms
anuppannā uppajjanti — “don't arise” — this discourse's own claim, literally “being unarisen, they arise,” a set phrase for something coming newly into existence.
nāññatra sugatavinayā — “not apart from the Holy One's training” — the identical exclusivity clause repeated from AN 10.123.
sammāsaṅkappo — “right purpose” (or right intention) — the second of the ten factors, unchanged from every prior list in this chapter and the one before it.
sammāsati — “right mindfulness” — the seventh factor, appearing identically across this chapter's eleven near-repeated lists.
sammāñāṇaṁ — “right knowledge” — the ninth factor, one of the two extending the classical eightfold path in this chapter's own ten-item version.
The text
The discourse in full: the single claim, and the familiar ten-item list. Translation: Bhikkhu Sujato (CC0, SuttaCentral).
Not arising apart from this training
§1“Mendicants, these ten things don’t arise apart from the Holy One’s training. What ten? Right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right immersion, right knowledge, and right freedom. These are the ten things that don’t arise apart from the Holy One’s training.”
