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. (1st paragraph of Intro by B.Bodhi in wheel booklet 377 )
